Putting on the fat suit~
I havent always been obese, although I have always felt it was inevitable...figures I'd get the great hair gene and the fat gene! I can remember being in high school and being a size 10/11 and even then, being one of the 'bigger girls' in class...and I remember thinking 'How crazy is that?? I have great curves!!'. Fast forward 20 years and now I am morbidly obese...where did those 20 years go? And how did this happen? And what was I thinking? And when did I start hating myself THAT much?? I am 36 years old with 3 children, all boys. I recently remarried on Valentines Day, 2005 to a wonderful man, who not only chose to take care of me, but my 3 children...AMAZING! He is a bit skeptical about this surgery, but also very curious and is totally supportive. My best friend went though this a few years ago and I have recently met someone else who is 6 months out and is looking fabulous. My husbands insurance does not cover this surgery, they did at one time, but I was lucky to find out that my current employer's insurance does cover it, Cigna. I am 4 months into the 6 month Dr appointments that I know Cigna will require, now I am waiting for my tax money to come back for the program fee for Dr Bour and hopefully on my way to getting my approval and coming out of this fat suit once and for all. I have been reading the posts on here since summer of last year, there are so many of you that are such an inspiration to me...I follow your progresses every day and decided today to join and start sharing my own journey.
