Hello, my name is Beth. I am from Conway,SC. I am 52 yrs. old and have been overweight for most of my life. In the past 4 yrs. I have been thru a divorce,which was a major change in my life. I was married for 26yrs. I have
always wanted this surgery but now I know I need it. I have many health problems and I am on disability. I went to the first meeting for WLS surgery and was so happy. This was back in Oct. 2008. I just knew I was soon going to be on the road to my new life,healthier and feeling so much better. But, the next week, I got a letter stating my medicaid insurance was terminated because of a small monthly alimony check my husband has to pay for 3 yrs. I have been so disappointed. I have tried so many different things to see if I could have this worked out. But, I know that God will help me get to the right person or place to have this necessary surgery. I read the forums and blogs here every day and know that soon hopefullly I will be one of the lucky ones. Please keep me in your prayers. You are all such caring people and hope to get to know you soon. My health problems are : high blood pressure, depression, sleep apnea, intermittent claudication.,borderline diabetic, COPD,hip,back and knee pain, unable to walk very far because of pain,GERD. Please keep your fingers crossed for me! Thanks! Beth
