Here I am sitting at 308 lbs, well that is what they weighed me in at the doctor's office on May 9th 2012. I went for my first consult. The dr says he does not think showing a medical need will be any problem. It is just a wait and see game to know what hoops the insurance(Aetna) is going to make me jump through. The office said it will take about 2 weeks to hear back from the insurance company. Come on 2 weeks. I am ready to start a life that has me playing the lead as a smaller ME!
I have been fat my entire life and it has caused me such mental pain and now it is causing me physical pain as well. This is the largest I have EVER been in my entire life. When you hit rock bottom I guess there is only one way to go and that is up. My weight got out of hand after being pregnant 5 times. I have had two miscarriages and 3 live births. I was on bed rest with the last two for a good half of the pregnancy. Since that time I can not make the scale move in the opposite direction. It just keeps moving up.
I want to be able to chase my girls and play without being afraid of hurting one of them. It is funny the larger I get the more I just want to hide and the more impossible being able to hide gets.
Does anyone have Aetna? If so what kind of experience did you have?
