Here I am, 31 years old, unmarried and without children and I am certain that my weight has played a major part in this. I have been desiring to have this surgery for a little over two years now because of all of the major health issues I have. I am a diabetic, have high BP, hypothyroidism... You name it, I have it! I know that because my conditions are so severe and because of my inconsistency with treatment and excercise, I am doomed. I have failed at every program and "diet" attempted.

The sad thing is that I work for a major insurance company who, prior to the demand of the gastic bypass, used to cover any form of obesity treatment regardless of your health status. Obesity treatment is just a flat-out, all-around exclusion. I tried twice pleading my case to my employer without any success, and so I am on my own. I have no assets and my due to a past relationship have very poor credit so, once again I am doomed. I have family with property, but they have not offered to help. So, I am at a lost I guess. A part of me wishes to give up and allow this to be my demise, but another part of me does not give up.

I have never known the feeling of being slim. I have been overweight all of my life, and I was active until my adult years. I played sports, danced and marched in marching bands, but was still overweight. There are so many things that I want to do in life in which I have allowed the weight to prevent me from trying, like going to film school, being a wife and mom, traveling to India and Egypt, and most of all being free from having to take 13 pills a day along with two injections. That is a lot for someone who is only 30 years old! Anyway, I hope that everyone else will have better luck and success. God bless!
