I have always been heavy but these last few years I feel like I have exploded. I've gained 80lbs in the 10 years since High School and I was heavy even then! I don't even have any children to show for it. I debated WLS off and on the last few years but I put it off for other things. After my divorce in 2008 I was depressed and determined to change things in my life. I managed to lose 30 lbs with diet while working and going to school for nursing. I was so proud. Well a year later and I am happier again with my life and those 30 lbs crept back in!! I have had enough.
I debated back and forth regarding the type of surgery. I thought I wanted the band. I went to information sessions with the Dr I wanted. I was crushed to find out that it would take at least 6 more months before I could even apply to have my insurance cover the costs. I wanted change NOW! I researched more and found I did not want the band. I had found the SLEEVE!! Well that was it. My mind was set. Then I find out my insurance will not cover the sleeve at all!! I said screw it! I am going to get this done come hell or high water. I researched more and found mexico.
My parents are not at all thrilled about this plan but I will not be derailed from my path. I get a date! 9/29!! Now I am just counting the days until I can start working for my new life.
