I am fairly certain my story sounds like so many others.  I have struggled with my weight all my life and hit rock bottom numerous times and decided that I was destined to be a big girl.  Fortunately, I have a super supportive family so I never really gave up.  I investigated the lapband surgery starting in 2004, went through the process and hit a brickwall.  Tried again in 2007 with a different doctor and again, the insurance company denied my request.  In 2008, another teacher I worked with started going to NeWeigh so I hopped on the bandwagon.  They were so thorough and I met every requirement so I felt like there was hope.  After completing all of the BCBS requirements, NeWeigh submitted my request and the waiting game began, so I thought.  I was hoping to have word by the end of June so surgery could be scheduled.  In just 4 days, the insurance company approved my gastric bypass and surgery was scheduled the next week!  I never imagined it would all happen so fast.  The rest is history (in the making)!
