waiting for approval !!!

Mar 23, 2010

I went to meet with the dietician at Dr Whites office yesterday, I took everything with me that I had from Dr Lane and it was everything they needed to submit to the insurance company! I was shocked when she said she had already faxed it to the insurance company while I sat there and watched a short film about bariatric surgery. So I am just waiting to hear from Kristie if I am approved or not.  I have been talking alot to my husband and sons, they dont want me to take the risk although they support me. I have lost 12 lbs in the last couple of months by changing the way I eat, preparing for after surgery. I got a tooth pulled today, so I had to take a pain pill and I am going to sleep, I will let you know when I hear from Dr Whites office. praying for approval, Que

SO DEPRESSED!

Mar 04, 2010

I am so depressed, my dietician called today and said she had to cancel my last appt for next week, she said Dr. Lane had resigned and MUO no longer has their bariatric program.  I was almost there, I am just ready to give up and be content with being fat forever.

up all night

Nov 02, 2009

I have been staying up night after night reading everyones profiles, and its so amazing because most of your stories is my story. I was 127 lbs and under until I got married at the age of 19 to my high school sweetheart.  I am 43 now and we have been married over 24 years! love this man to death, he gets on my last nerve sometimes............but I love him to death. He has never ever ever made me feel bad about my weight, he tells me daily how beautiful I am, he still stares at me, and I'll say "what are you doing" and he will say " you look so beautiful to me" Isnt he a sweetie ? lol anyway we have 3 boys ages 23, 21 and 3.............yes I said 3! he is my 17 year surprise! and he will be 4 in a couple of months and I am still in shock!  Needless to say, I didnt gain weight until I started having kids a year after we got married, 60 lbs with the first son, 40 with the second and the weight has never come off. I would lose 30 here or 40 there but it always comes back, it doesnt help that I eat in my sleep!  I went to learn about bariatric surgery in May 2009, and I started my testing in June 09.  I have taken my time getting all of the testing done because I need to be sure. Now I know that I couldnt be anymore sure than I am now that WLS is for me, my way to get my life back, start living again. Its not fair to my 3 year old to just be existing everyday and not living life to the fullest. I have completed everything but the sleep dr wants me to have a sleep study. I have already began calling my dr's office to make sure there are no surprises after I am done with the sleep study.  I am ready to get  (take) my life back.
