I was diagnosed with Congestive heart failure (PPCM) after my last baby was born in 2006. I almost died, ever since then I had to go to heart doctor every 6 months. Me and my husband had been praying for 2 years bc the dr kept telling me I needed to have this done to watch my 3 kids grow up. Well on December 13, 2012 when he told me that I knew God had given us our answer. We tried to get insurance to cover it but there is a clause between provider and employer that states no weight loss surgery even if it is medically necessary. I have fibromyalgial, thyroid problems, and so many other ailments that I couldnt wait anymore. By Gods great love and mercy we were able to pay for it and still be ok financially. I love this board it rocks, thank you for yalls ongoing support.
