Hello,
I want to start off by telling you all a liitle about me. My name is Jennifer. I'm 52 and I live in Central California. I have struggled with my weight most of my adult years. Tried every diet. Been successful at diets but only to gain the weight back and then some. About ten years ago I looked into weight loss surgery but the insurance that I had at that time (Blue Shield/Blue Cross California) did NOT cover it. So I went on with my life gaining weight, trying to accept that I was going to be overweight the rest of my life. I have been on a couple of diets since then and had success but like I said I put the weight back on. October 2012 my Mom passed away from a six year battle with cancer and my life took a definate turn. I decided that I truly needed to start living my life the way I wanted to and that I deserved true happiness. One day while talking to my Dad somehow the topic of weight loss surgery came up and I said to him " If I had the money I would do it (meaning weight loss surgery) in a heart beat!" He relplied that he thinks I should do it and that he could let me pay for it using funds from my inheritance once he passes. WOW! Seriously? Very excited!!! I told him I would look into it and get back to him. I now have NO yes ZERO insurance and so he would pay for it 100% out of pocket. So I looked into it and got the prices here in Clovis and so the next time I saw my Dad told him the cost. The cost were far greater tha It they were and had estimated to him. The holidays came and life got busy so I kind of just let it take a back seat. Recently I had lunch with my Dad and brought it up and told him I was going to schedule my consoltation appointment, which I have for March 25th 2014. He has placed the non refundable consult fee funds in my account and so this is where I am at in my journey. Currently 250 pounds and scheduled to begin this exciting journey to a happier and healthier me.
