After i did all the required appointments it took about two months but that includes waiting on other docs to turn in their paper work to surgeons office and a broken fax machine at insuarance office . Once i figured what was going on and made phone calls it took less than a week for approval and three days for a date. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

There are many many straws for me but the one that started the ball rolling was when my father very tall and thin man smoker all his life suffered many debilitating strokes. He fell at the nursing home once and i helped get him up since he was hurting the nurses, my god he was so heavy. It made me appreciate the nurses so much more. I started thinking on my life i have no one other than my two sisters and my mom who is only 4'10 all i kept picturing is her taking care of me in the same state. Pops died during that week i somehow messed up my knee went to ortho she said i will not be able to walk in two years due to arthritis and weight. One year later messed up the other knee and was halving trouble walking. That scared the carp out of me i quit smoking and went to my physician and told him to refer me. While i was waiting for a call for an appt. I was coming home in the wee hours in the morning from work. I started to watering and went out to turn it off when i stepped on a wet spot on the top of concrete stairs and fell directly on my arse then bounced forward and messed up my knee some more so there i was 391 pounds of me lying on a wet concrete floor with the sprinkler going and a toad staring back at me. Yup almost squished a toad. So im wondering how im going to get up was in so much pain i had to crawl to the Water shut off then had to crawl up the stairs i finally manged to crawl into bed wet clothes and all i just could not move i felt so incredibly alone and i flashed back to my father and seeing him on the floor. I knew this was it i was done being fat!

Okay so is it odd that am this happy to be sliced and diced. (Apologies if i offended someone) I got the call this morning about my surgery after fighting over a broken fax machine and which doctor is in the network and so forth i was approved and set up just got to go in for labs and i'll be ready for surgery december 5th. I am concerned about you know things going wrong However my need for this far outweigh my concerns. I am ready for a new life. I have been on this site for a few months now and i have to say reading all of your stories and seeing all the progress really inspires me that i can do this too. Any advice that you may want to share with me before my surgery?

Im 5'10 at 391 been making bad decisions my entire life hope to stop the cycle with this one. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App
