 AS YOU GUYS CAN SEE, I HAVE LOST OVER 100 POUNDS, (206 BUT WHO'S COUNTING HAHA AND THIS SWEET LADY WAS KIND ENOUGH TO MAKE A CENTURY CARD FOR ME.....THANK YOU LAURA

 BELOW IS MY STORY OF HOW IT ALL BEGAN........AND I NEVER EVER WANT TO GO BACK TO WEIGHING 550 AGAIN.......WHAT A BLESSING LIFE IS NOW THAT I AM ALMOST ME AGAIN.......

 APRIL 15TH 2004
I am 6 feet tall weigh in at or around 525 pounds. I have no kids and live alone. I was layed off  from my job of 9 years December 9th 2003 due to my weight and health.   I was approved for Social Security Disability on March 7th, 2005. I have Medicare parts A and B and limited Medicaid. I am on a program called the QMB program with the state. Due to the amount of disability I get every month, I do not have to pay any kind of copay or fees at all. I was hospitalized 5 times from Sept  2004 thru November 2004  for various things ranging from low potassium to high fluid intake.
I am very tired now, and my health has declined to a point where I cannot stand up except for maybe 3 minutes. I am  in real bad shape. I cannot walk but  a few feet at the time then I have to sit down. I have found a wonderful support group in Warner Robins call the Mini Mees and although I cannot get out of my house, I do interact with members online.   I have  sleep apnea and according to the sleep clinic I stop breathing 58 times an hour. My family has to do EVERYTHING for me. I am homebound and feel as though I won't live much longer unless I have the surgery. I have tried every diet on the planet and nothing has helped.  I hate the way I feel. I have been wanting this surgery since 1997.   I have slept, ate, and spoken about the surgery with every breath. I am hanging by a thin thread now. I am a patient of Dr Greg Eilers at the W T Anderson clinic here in Macon GA. I have to see him every 3 months.
