Well, I finally decided to post my story, as most of us, I have been obese all of my life, the only time I remember shopping for clothing in a normal store, I was in grade school, & even then, it was Sears/Chubby section.  Iv'e always carried myself as if I wasn't obese, I even had myself convinced, that I wasn't.  I never really had self-esteem issues until 2-3 years ago, when I really started getting out of control with my weight.  I never really had considered WLS until last year, when I could hardly walk, the pain in my knees & joints were just umbarable.  I never thought they people who had WLS were weak or anything like that, I just felt it wasn't for me. I have tried so hard to loose weight over the years, would succeed, but would gain it all back & then some!!!!!  Before I made the decision to have WLS, I prayed & I prayed & I prayed about it.  I told the Lord finally las August that I needed an answer from him, because I did not want this to be like a plague on me!!  He gave me my answer in August of last year!!  He told me by this time (August) next year, that it was going to come to pass, He said I am going to deliver you out of ALL YOUR AFFLICTIONS,  just like I delivered JOSEPH (ACTS 7:8-10, AMPLIFIED).  I have trusted in the Lord for many years now, & HE HAS NEVER FAILED ME YET!!!!  I have already had my intial consult with Dr Chlysta, I've had my sleep study (which they found I have severed sleep apnea), have seen the Dietician 2 times & have had my initial Psych consult with a 2nd one scheduled on the 28th of this month.  After that everything will be submitted to my insurance co (had to waite to the 1st of year other ins had an exclusion of WSL on policy) Ins now is Medical Mutual of Ohio.  Everything so far has been moving along smoothly (THANK YOU JESUS).  God has truly been good to me & have blessed me with a wonderful, husband, he has had to do & take over soooo many of the household tasks, because I am not able to get around as easily as he does.  He has not complained at all, he just does it-that is one of the reasons why, no one can tell me there is no GOD!!  He is a GOD sent!!!! (THANK YOU LORD)  Always remember, LOVE THE GIFT, BUT WORSHIP THE GIVER OF THE GIFT!!!!!!!

Well I guess this is all for now, I hope that I can stay current in posting & updating!!!  I am what you call a procrastinator!!!!!

 

REMEMBER:  LOOK TO THE HILLS FROM WHENCE COMETH YOUR HELP, YOUR HELP COMETH FROM THE LORD!!!!
