It's about time.......
Mar 28, 2009
Well, as stated, it's about time...Time to get rid of this weight FOR GOOD!! Time to get healthy, time to have more energy for myself and my family and TIME to get this going!!!!
A few years ago, I stated out loud to my family..."if I don't lose 100 pounds this year I am having wight loss surgery" and a year went by...I had lost probably 45 punds but gained some of that back...I kept thinking...2 pounds a week..52 weeks in a year...100 pounds...I can do it...NO, I can't...I need a tool, some assistance...SOMETHING!!!! SO...after much research and looking into things, I decided to have WLS...RNY....this decision was made in December, 2008. I KNEW I was going to have it...now, how was I going to pay for it became another issue..but I was determined!!! My primary insurance said I had to have a 5 year record from my doctor of weigh loss tries and exercise regimans I had done....5 years...NOW, besides being "morbidly obese" I am a relatively healthy person....(lucky and genetics :o) SO, in the last 5 years, I have been to the doctor 4 times...and not one time did we go over eating or exercise besides in chit chat conversation.....SO...I don't have this for my insurance....but I am determined...sure enough, they turn me down...and I write them a LONG and very in depth letter on why I need this surgery and pleaded for a second chance.....GUESS WHAT...I got it...spring break trip with my family, I get a call...I am approved!!!!!!!!!!! My surgery is scheduled for May 11th, 2009. I am SO PSYCHED!!!!
SO...the journey begins and "It's about time......"
