Angie i.
Where to begin? I have always been a big girl that didn't look so big. I carry my weight well so most people do not think I look 235 pounds. When I was 9 years old I was 137 pounds and 5 feet tall. I have yo yo dieted as I am sure many folks on here have. My husband had lap banding in July of 2006 and has done very well. He has lost 50 pounds and is MUCH healthier. I looked into the RNY for myself when he had his surgery but my BMI disqualified me from surgery. Then in October of 2006 I was diagnosed as a diabetic. This was all that my doctor needed to add to my BMI and approve me for his services. I attended an info seminar on Oct 12 and on October 23rd my insurance APPROVED my surgery. I am scheduled for Dec. 14th! All pre-op blood work was done on November 2. I am waiting to see the DR. and sign my consents. I really can not believe that I will finally be able to maintain a healthy weight and be active with my kids without gasping for air or complaining of achy joints. I look forward to many more posts here and to making new friends.
