So here's the skinny...NOT!!! Not since I was 9 anyway.
I have been overweight now for 30 years and I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of being FAT. I have always been described as "vibrant, confident, a real people person", however, because of the fat, I have never really fully connected with those things. I am what you would describe as an insecure extrovert. Yeah, I made that up. It means that I like people, being around people, and love to talk, but am always questioning my appearance and myself during interactions. It is actually quite bizarre. I wish I felt half as comfortable as people say I seem.
So, I went to the PCP who referred me to a nutritionist who asked why hadn't I ever considered the band. I know, a nutritionist who just put it out there. You have got to love it. She said, since you have been heavy all of your life, why continue to suffer if you really don't have to. Go to the seminar, check it out. So I did. And you know what? I want to get the surgery. No ifs, ands, buts, or doubts. I am certain. Absolutely 100%.
I consulted one surgeon after the seminar and found out I may have to wait at least 6 mths for approval. I am consulting another tomorrow who has better experience with my insurance to see if the wait time changes because I am getting this surgery. Do you think I want this surgery? More updates to come tomorrow. LOL!!!!
