It's January 29th, 2008. I am 271 pounds, and in the process of having my second Weightloss Surgery. I had the lap band on 5/29/03, and had to have it removed 9/29/06. I am at my highest weight ever. I fell on February 18th, 2007, and broke my ankle and leg causing me to have 3 different surgeries and spend most of my year in a wheelchair or walking cast. Because of my obesity, my bones don't want to heal. I am currently on a CPAP machine at night, have Acid Reflux, and several other conditions due to my weight.
I have completed all my requirements needed to send to insurance except the 2 months of supervised weightloss attempts in the last year because of my inability to get to the doc because I can't drive with a cast on my right foot.
I go for my second month the first of February, and am praying that God will help me to get approved for the Rouex en Y this time. I am a slight risk due to the scar tissue on my stomach from the prior surgery.
This time, I have chosen Dr. Mark Shina. he has performed over 2000 weightloss surgeries and is highly qualified.
I plan on doing a step by step detail of my journey as I try to become healthy again.
I hope to get to know others who have been through a similar situation as mine.
