Well i went to another seminar Sat. March 21,2008. Gona try it again. I am looking at getting the sleeve and if insurance does not cover it i am going to see about getting it finianced.
My bosses are really behind me in this and are willing to help me out in anyway.
One of them is going to go with me for my next dr.appointment. 
i worry though that my sisters will be resentful of my getting the WLS cause they want it also. My boyfriend says he likes me the way i am and i worry now if he will leave me afterwards. I think and hope this is just my fears working on me again.
I have no one to talk to about this.... the family will say i am crazy for feeling this way.

I think i will close for now...

Well i found out last week that they are changeing my insurance at work. I am concerned since i am diabetic that it will not cover my precs. and office visits.
Good thing is that i can try again to see if they will pay for the WLS.
I am fitting into a size 2x pants now. Wearing panties that are another size smaller. Doing good on that stuff. My sugar has be crazy lately. Andi have not been feeling well at all. Not sure what it is. Not something i can go to the dr.  and say this hurts or is bothering me.
 
I want to learn how to sew, a co-worker has loaned me a machine, i need to see what i can find out on the internet about that.

Thanks for reading. C

Well it has been some time since i have been on here. I just got depressed when i found out that my insurance will not cover the surgery. I felt that all hope was gone. 
The nurse was nicer than most that i have heard giveing the bad news. 
She did tell me of 2 places that will do loans for the surgery. But my credit is bad and i doubt i can get one. So what is my next step. 
I don't know honestly. 
My doctor says that i don't need the surgery now. That he has but me on diet pills but i took them for a week and i don't like them i felt as if i was doing lines of speed or cocaine. I was soo edgy i was ready to ripe off someones head. Then to try and quite smoking on top of that well i had to stop one or the other. And the pills side effect was the worse. Everyone at work and home was suffering. 
So if anyone has suggestions let me know i am open for them.

Untill next time.

It has been 2 weeks and i have not heard anything about the surgery. I called Tuesday, the lady that does the insurance was on vacation for a week. 
I did get a call from my regular doctor who says i had a problem with problem with my CVC, what ever that is. 
So i have to go back tomorrow and have them rechecked! 
I will keep you posted. 
Thanks for reading.

I went to see my primary dr. wednesday. I told him i had gone to the seminar for WLS, talked to him about the types of surgery etc. He gave me some weight loss pills, and pills to quite smoking. 
I did get good news i have lost 3 lbs since the seminar! Hollar!!
Now with all of this my primary dr. thinks that maybe i don't need the surgery. 
I think the 3 lbs is a fluke. I am hoping and praying that if i get the surgery that i will be able to quite smoking and lose 40 lbs that i will need too. 
Then i have all this waiting time to find out about my insurance. I want so much to call and ask but that will not do much good. 
Does anyone know of support groups in the OKC area?
I am going to go back to work now. 
Happy Easter to all and God Bless.

My DR has been trying to get me to have WLS for the past 2-3 yrs. I never wanted to do it, figured it was not for me. I did not put the weight on over night i can take it off the same way. WRONG!!!!  Doc told me I had Type II Diebets 2 yrs ago and i have been struggling with it since then. I weighted 380 when i went to my first Bariatric Surgery Seminar Aug. 2006. 
My insurance did not cover it and i did not like the attitude. 
So i gave it up. 
Since then i have gained almost 30 lbs. I am struggling with doing things. I find no interest in Sex, ( abnormal for me or any member of my family). And i know it is b/c of my size. 
I relazed Christmas i wanted to do something when my sister and i was planning a trip next year to Vegas. All the sites of things we wanted to do i could not b/c of my size or weight!  I don't want to go on trips with my boyfriend b/c i dont want to have to walk around places. I don't even want to do things with my family. 
It hurts my back to walk for long periods of times and i get short of breath. 
I went Wed. March 12.2007 I went to another WLS Seminar. I will know in 2weeks if my insurance will cover the surgery. 
They said it depends on my BMI and if i have 1 of 7 illnesses that i should not have much of a problem getting them to cover it. 
Well my BMI is over 35 and i have 3 of the 7 illnessess. We will see in soon i hope. I am looking forward to it but i am also scared. 

Thanks for reading i look forward to any input .ch
