MY JOURNEY
Jun 11, 2008
I STARTED THIS PROCESS IN 2002 AND NEEDLESS TO SAY IT FINALLY HAPPENED. WHEN I STARTED IT IN 02 I WAS GOING THROUGH DR. TITUS DUNCAN AND I DID EVERY THING I WAS TOLD TO DO AND WAS DENIED BY THE INS COMPANY (CIGNA) AND I GAVE UP. I THOUGHT WELL I AM DESTINED TO BE FAT WITH DIABETES AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, AND IT WAS INEVETABLE THAT I WOULD DIE AT A YOUNG AGE. MY HIGHEST WEIGHT WAS 425 AND I REACHED THAT SIZE IN 2005. SO I DECIDED THEN THAT I WOULD TRY AGAIN.
AGAIN I WENT THROUGH DR. TITUS DUNCAN AND I WAS DENIED BY THE INS. COMPANY (BLUE CROSS) SO AGAIN I GAVE UP.
SO LAST YEAR 02.11.2007 I TURNED 40 YRS OLD AND I DECIDED I AM NOT GOING TO DIE. I LOVE LIFE TO MUCH AND I WAS GOING TO DO THIS ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. THATS WHEN I MET MY GOOD FRIEND TERRANCE. I HAD TALKED WITH HIM AND HE TOLD ME THAT IF I HAD THE SURGERY HE WOULD DO IT TOO, BECAUSE WE BOTH WANTED TO LOSE. WHEN I SAID LETS DO IT HE FOUND DR. WILLIAM JOHNSON AT THE ATLANTA BARIATIC CENTER AND WE MADE OUR APPTS WE WENT TO THE SEMINAR AND THE APPTS TOGETHER. FINALLY WE HAD SURGERY ON 02.26.08 AND IT WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT.
