In the beginning . . .
This was a hard decision for me to make . . . I've never been small but then again, I've never been this big before either. I have always embraced my bigness - it was just who I was but my world is getting smaller and smaller. I can't kneel or get down on the floor to play with my grandson. I can't walk for more than a few feet. I am so limited AND I almost can't buy clothes in a large sized store anymore. If I could fix this by dieting - I would have done it by now. I'm only 46, I hope to live for at LEAST 30 more years . . .so this is the decision I have made and this is the start of my journey.
In November 2008 I made the decision to ask my doctor about weightloss surgery. several years ago he told me no and then he proceeded to explain why. I accepted his decision at the time - but decided to ask again. He said yes and submitted for a referral from the insurance co without many more questions.
I started the nutrition classes in dec. I have one more class to go and will have my psych eval next week. Blue shield denied the first request for surgery - but my doctors office believes that they will approve after I complete the education and the psych eval. They will resubmit after I complete both.
