Starting Over

Dec 29, 2011

It is now the end of 2011 and I am still at 275! I "chickened out" of continueing the process. My doctor then wanted me to go through a 6 month weight loss period with her before she would help get me through the insurance. I changed my diet a little, lost a little weight, gained it back and developed yet another condition.

Starting 2012, I want to go full force at this. My husband (Jeff) started a new job back in October that offers great insurance so we added me to his insurance and I will be dropping mine.

I want to have WLS done because I am tired. I am tired of being heavy. I am tired of being tired all the time. I am tired of being unhappy with the way I look. I am tired of having high blood pressure. Jeff and I have talked about starting a family and he is very concerned. He knows that my weight with high blood pressure and the stress of carrying a child could but my health at a great risk. That is one risk, he is not willing to take.

So now, to start all over again. There is a surgeon that is holding seminars in January that I will be attending again. Then this time, I will actually fill out the paperwork and give it back to them.

Wish me luck. I am scared as all hell. Jeff is extremely supportive, but I know the rest of my family doesn't believe in this.
