The decision has been made

It's taken me 7 years to make this decision, and now that it's been made, I'm more excited than scared about my new life that's coming.

 

I'll spare the long, melodramatic introduction.... I've decided that anything I need to say, I can say in less than 1 minute!

 

I'm super morbidly obese. I've yo-yo dieted for over 25 years. I've decided to get the band, and my insurance company just removed it from the policy effective 1/2009. I am in appeals, but am prepared to self-pay if necessary. I need an unrelated surgery to biopsy a lesion on my spleen, and Dr. Gazayerli has agreed to do them together. I am hopeful because there's a dual purpose to the surgery, that my insurance will pay for at least a portion, and leave me with only $5200 to pay for the band.

 

Fingers crossed.... and savings ready to be raided for the surgery that's going to save my life.

 

I have 9 year old triplet boys at home, and dammit, I'm going to see them get married and have kids..... if it kills me :confused3:
