Hello, my name is Jodi. I am in the process of trying to get insurance approval for DS surgery. After weighing the pros and cons of this surgery for some time I have decided this is the right move for me.
I was a thin child, thin young adult and slightly overweight adult. The combination of quiting smoking and getting pregnant packed on the pounds for me. I have been on diet after diet and gained and lost so many pounds.
Now I have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, arthritis, back pain, foot pain, low energy. Amazing what obesity can do to your body. I feel that I am trading all the medications I take for these problems for all the vitamins I will have to take with DS.
So, now I start my journey.
I have a 4 year old princess and would love to keep up with all that energy. She is the darling of my life and I want to live and interact with everything I can with her.
