Mary J.
My name is Mary and I am 38years old. I have been thinking of having weight loss surgery for some time now. At this time I am waiting on approval from the insurance co. They tell me they have up to 30 days to make a decision and I feel they will take 30 days. I am both excited and very scared about having surgery. I know it sounds crazy but until about 2 years ago I didnt feel overweight. Now I feel like I am smoothering myself with all the fat I have put on. I have been overweight since I was 5 years old. I dont have any health problems other than the weight.
I am a single Mom of 3 children, 17,8,6 they are the inspiration for the surgery.

Wow, it has been almost a year since I have been here. I was denied from the insurance company, and I guess I gave up. Since I was last here, I feel like I have gained about 50 more pounds. Depression set in, but like always, I cover it up with a smile and go on like everything is fine.
Last week, it all hit me for no reason at all. I just sat and cried. I am so tired of feeling this way. My health is going down hill fast. I have such a hard time breathing, and walking, well its not easy either.
My insurance company has not heard the last from me. I pay for it for a reason and I intend to be able to use it ! Well, that is all for now. I will try to keep my page updated more often.
