Just like the prodigal son I return to the jouney I abandoned 5 years ago, this time, I trust God has a different plan!

I am a 29 year old who can't wait for the rest of my life.
This is a journey that GOD is taking me by the hand.
Any future steps will be totally directed by Him ONLY.
I have my first app with Dr. Valin on June first 2001.
I will let you know what happens!
May 10th-
I have canceled my appointment because I am on the way of getting insurance and don’t want to have them thinking this was in my mind at the time of acquiring the insurance. I did choose a PCP that has spoken with Dr Valin Before, and Cecile said that this doctor was against WLS and did not refer a patient of hers. Well her patient (Bless her heart) got referral from another doctor, and when she came back, the fist doctor couldn’t believe all the changes. She immediately called Dr. Valin’s office and ordered an info package.
I am very confident.
God has guided me here; it has been a true miracle.
A year ago I spent forever looking about WLS and found NOTHING! I know it wasn’t time yet, but now He has given me such peace about it, that I just know, everything will be OK.
Resting in his arms until my next post.
And praying for everyone in the surgery list daily.
Love
Monica

Nothing much to report, just that I can’t wait to be on the other side.
For insurance reasons, I can only go to my PCP after the 10 of June, and then I hope she will refer me to Dr. Valin in New Haven.
I don’t go out much any more.
I hate having nothing to wear. But I refuse to by size 26 clothes, so whatever size 24 that can snugly fit I will use, or just go out naked! LOL.
I pray every day for people having surgery. Can’t wait to pray about my own date.
God is good and faithful, and I know that he is with me on this!
Thank you Jesus, I love you!
Please make the time FLY!

I just got a call from the insurance. They denied me on my weight being too high. another humiliating fact about being obese. But I trust God is walking me thru this. maybe I need more time. The Insurance BC/BS said that if I get down to 230 they would accept me. If that was easy I wouldn't need surgery! So I am frustrated, but my hope doesn't lie in the insurance company and My God is faithful. I know He will restore my happiness, from the fake grin that forever has been on my face. So THERE OBESITY, you haven't won yet!
Love Monica

Hello all!
I am still dealing with the bad news I received from BC/BS. I am trying to lose the weight, but must confess I have no faith in diets….
I had prayed to God to close the doors that were not going to bless me, maybe he wants me to go to another Dr. or State…. I don’t know.
Thank you for all the e-mails and prayers that you’ve been sending my way.
I still enjoy watching other journeys. And my hope, although injured has not died.
Love
Monica

I am struggling with loosing the weight. I know that God guides my life, but I confess my disappointment, it would be so easy to have MY way! He has never failed me, so I will willingly trust Him. And always rejoice with all of you that are going to the other side
All my love
Monica.

My faith has been restored, it’s been a while and at one point I had given up.
I will post later with more details, but I can tell you this, I don’t know when, but I know I will have this surgery, and I believe this is my only chance at a normal life.
God Bless you!
