I have to wait for 6 months for insurance. In the meantime 8 have alot to do. 6 months nutritional classes,ekg,egd,chest xray, psychology appt, sleep study, cardiac clearance, pulmonary clearance, stress test, lab work, life classes, final appt with surgeon, 2 week wait for approval, 2 week liquid diet... About me. I am 33 years old, I have a wonderful husband we have been together for 9 years but married for 1. We have 6 wonderful children -he came with 3- I came with 2 - and we had 1 together (she is now 6 years old.) I have dealt with my weight on and off my whole life. Always trying to get smaller doing yo yo diets that always FAILED. I would lose 15 pounds and gain 25 back. Neverending struggle. I had all 3 of my children by c section so ab muscles pretty destroyed, have the ugly flab that hangs already. My husband didn't want me to do this at first he said that I could do this on my own. When I met him I was 158 but now 221. He went to the weight loss seminar with me and I think it made him see how I feel better and gave him a better understanding of how unhealthy I really am and why I need this help to get the weight off. Once you hit the 80-115 lbs overweight it's so hard and discouraging to get off with just diet and exercise cause God know I have tried all that. ALL THE WASTED MONEY ON ALL THOSE GIMMICKS. I am ready for my life change. Good luck to all.

I'm postponing mine I just found out that my ins only pays 50% of the 16,000 dollar surgery. So my out of pocket would be 8000 and they want 4000 before they do surgery. Than make payments for the rest. So depressed
