I have been overweight since high school. My husband has NEVER complained ONCE about my weight. My extended family on the other hand is another story. My goal in this whole adventure, is to GET HEALTHTY, and have energy to play with my kids. I want my children to be happy to call me mommy, and my husband to be proud to call me his wife. I went to my weight loss seminar back in October, but with no previous medical records, and no documented history of previous weight loss attempts, the first letter to Tri-Care was sent back denied. After months of trying to get documented with at least 2 co-morbidities, my doctor sent me for a sleep study. That was all it took! From the diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, to my surgery date, has only been about 6 weeks. I am nervous AND excited! The liquid diet, is making me SERIOUSLY aware of the major life change I am about to embark on! Wish me luck!!
