Where do I start?? I've been over weight since at least 1999. After my 2 children. I have 2 wonderful children. Boys 11 and 13. I have an awesome step son that is 19 with 2 kids of his own 3yr old girl and 2 month old boy. I've always considered him my son to.
I've always been bothered with my weight. I've never been small. Even in elementary school I was the biggest of all my friends. I started seriously considering weight loss surgery in October 2006. I've studied every ascpect of it. My surgeons office requires you fill out a patient info form online then they call you for consult. So I filled it out in late April 2008. They called and I had my consult June 2nd 2008. I was so nervous and excited. The surgeon and his office is so great. They have a form online where you can go and check and see exactly where you are in the process. It tells you all the info they have and what you need to get turned in. My insurance papers was sent off Aug 21 2008. They said it takes my insurance company 30 days to approve. Hopefully I won't be denied the first time. I've heard this happens for some. I have no serious health problems. Thank God. Just back and knee and leg aches. I know that all comes from being over weight. Now the weight is on for approval. I have such a supportive and loving family. My daughter-in-law is as excited as I am about the surgery. My husband loves me like I am, but he doesn't want to see me having the health problems my mother had. She to was over weight for years. She died at 60. Hardest thing I've ever been through. My wonderful husband stood by me. We've been together 18 yrs and married 16 yrs. I couldn't imagine being with anyone else. I know most of her problems came from being over weight. I want to be able to do stuff with me kids. As of yesterday I weight 266. I will try to keep everyone who reads this updated as much as possible...I know the journey is just beginning...
