I am a 35 year old wife and mother of 3 boys, a 12 year old, a 10 year old and a 15 month old. I have been heavy off and on, since the 4th grade. I don't have to tell many of you how cruel kids can be or how unaccepting society can be, because most of you have experienced one or the other. There were times in my life, where I had lost quite a bit of weight, but never kept it off for a long period of time. I am tired of the yo-yoing and have decided to have the RNY.
I choose to move forward and make the most of life from here on out. In the past, I have let my weight take away my confidence, self-esteem, pride, etc.
My insurance requires for me to be on a 6 month physician-monitored diet, before they will pay for bariatric surgery. I had my first consult in October. At my last appointment, my doctor told me that I should be having the surgery sometime in April.
My next appointment will be March 3rd and they are going to submit all my insurance approval. I hope and pray it gets approved. We have a team working on getting everything approved, so hopefully I won't have to jump thru all the hoops a lot of other people have had to. If I do, I will still be fine. I know it will all be in God's time, not my own.
