Pigluva

I have been overweight all my life.  I have lost down to my goal weight 3 times in my life (I'm 61 now) and of course gained it back plus more each time.  I hurt my knee about 4 years ago and it was just never right after that.  I was used to walking 5 miles each day for exercise and that put an end to that.  I started putting on weight and started getting a lot of back pain.  I have 3 bulging disks in my back that they say are inoperable.  Also my knees are killing me.  Any I wear an insulin pump and still have trouble with my sugar.  My general practice doctor has been trying to get me to have Gastric Bypass surgery for the past 2 or 3 years.  She says that she has patients that were actually confined to wheel chairs that had it done and are pain free now.  I have such little quality of life because of the pain that I have to try something.  So I am half way to having my surgery.  I have completed all of the tests that were required.  I am half way through a wellness course that my insurance company requires before they will give me final approval.  So hopefully in August/September I will finally be able to have the surgery.  It's been a long road so far but it will be so worth it!
