As of 11/02/06 I am 30 years old and weigh 270 lbs. with several co-morbitities; PCOS, GERD, High Cholesterol, Diabetes and severe back/neck pain. I have been considering gastric bypass for a little over 2 years now. I was approved 2 years ago and had surgery scheduled twice and got pnemonia both times. I took this as a sign that it was not the right time for having surgery. 2 years later, I am in worse shape, I weigh more, feel worse and just can't stand to be this heavy any longer. So I am back. I had my psych evaluation done on 09/25/06, Consult on 09/23/06 and insurance approved and surgery was scheduled by 09/27/06 for a date of 11/14/06. Everything went smooth this time. Last time, there were several struggles; Insurance stalled, my employer gave me a hard time and I got sick. I think it is meant to happen this time.
