I have always been overweight, for as far back as I can remember. I have tried many different types of diets and only lost up to 50lbs. max. After having my last baby in September 2010, I decided that I wanted to have bariatric surgery.
My journey started in February when I requested for my Primary Care doctor to send a referral for me to attend a seminar about weight loss surgery. From there I filled out a lot of paperwork and was scheduled with a consult appointment on April 27, 2011. I was given a list of everything I needed to complete. I completed everything within a month. My request was then submitted to my insurance for approval. My approval came in around the beginning of June 2011 and I was scheduled for surgery on June 23, 2011.
I am very happy that I had the surgery and look forward to meeting my goals and living life as a skinnier, healthier mom and wife.
