I'm So Excited!

Mar 02, 2014

I found out I was approved for RNY on Friday!!!! I've been wanting this surgery for so many years and I am finally on the schedule :) I would always flip to the back page when it was time to go over insurance at work and was always bummed out when I read that weight loss surgery wasn't covered. I have applied for second jobs just for the insurance, I have looked at paying out of pocket for insurance, and paying outright for the surgery. I didn't tell anyone that I wanted the surgery until a few years ago because I was too scared of what they would think.

18 months ago I took the 6 months of required classes when I was on Medicaid hoping that was my one chance. After finishing the classes I was denied renewal of Medicaid because I made $30 too much. I was sooooo crushed! At this point in my life I feel that my only real chance of winning this battle is having the tool of RNY surgery to get me jump started on the right path. Being able to have this surgery is like winning the lottery for me. I haven't ever wanted anything so badly for myself and this might be the first time that I believe I deserve something this huge. I never put myself first, it's always about my three kids, my husband, family, friends, coworkers, etc.

Now it's my turn and I'm going to enjoy the entire journey including the ups and downs because I'm so grateful that I'm even able to have the surgery. I'm ready and can't wait!!! 

March 25th, 2014 is the beginning to a new and improved me!!
