waiting...

Jul 26, 2010

I have thought about having WLS for over two years now. I have been heavy since college and am nearing my fortieth birthday. I am cleaning out my retirement accounts to pay for this. No, there is no chance my insurance will cover it, not for any reason for anybody.
I am nervous, I am worried I will feel ill and miss food. But the facts are- I always feel miserable now. Not mentally but physically. I have constant acid reflux (because I eat like a pig and choose the wrong foods), chronic Achilles tendinitis,  the overall condition of my skin is hideous, I am diagnosed with hypothyroidism and hypertension. 
I am basically in pain all the time, and spend my summers doing little to nothing. I am a teacher and have summers off. My work season is grueling. So tired, barely able to wake and nauseated. 
If I don't do something- I'll never live to use my retirement money anyways. 
I am waiting for a Psych Eval. I have to clean out my accounts, do a sleep study. And most likely, my surgery will take place around X-Mas, unless I luck out and things fall into place- it could happen as soon as next week.
