Hello,
I have a consultation with Dr. Beausoleil September 3rd. I am super stoked! But I have almost a million questions! So, I was wondering if anyone could help me out.
First of all, I am 26 years old, and atleast 325lbs(I haven't weighed myself in years, scales and me aren't good friends). I have been overweight my entire life. I've tried countless diets and failed every single time. About 3 years ago, my doctor sent my referral to Dr. Beausoleil but as you all know the list was incredibly long, so I was told about a 'Middle Man' Doctor in Saint John who could get you to the top of the list. That doctor would have approved me but at the time Medicare said I was 'too healthy' therefor they would not cover it. I've heard that since then, as long as Dr. B. approves the surgery, then you'll be able to have it.
So I was wondering if there are any ladies around my age that have had the surgery. If not does anyone have an idea or guess if I'll be approved? How long after your first consultation do you have the actual surgery? I'm worried about loose skin too, considering my age do you think it will take that long before it 'bounces' back or maybe it won't?
My parents and friends are all scared and worried. I am not in the slightest. This is literally the best gift ever. I feel like I am getting a totally new chance at life! I had pretty much given up.
Super stoked!
Sarah
