Johnny51R 0 Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) I have been diagnoised with Bi Polar and depression, anixety for 13 years now. I take my meds and I'm overweight. I also have diabetes, high cholestrol and asthma and reflux. I want to loose weight and I've tried regular diets but it never works. I have started the procedure. I just did my X-ray, Psh evaluation and deitician on Thursday. I'm just waiting to hear back from my insurance. I will be having the surgery in December 2008. I'm excited and nervous too. I have a lot of people supporting me and I'm ready to loose my weight. I'm depressed alot because of my weight. I love horses, me and my 10 year old daughter raise and train colts. We halter break them and get them used to leading and touching. We love it. I want to loose weight so I can be with my daughter and feel good and I also would like to see my grandchildren one day. I have United healthcare insurance and it pays 90% until 12/31/2008 and then only 80% after 1/1/2009, so I'm getting it done by then end of the year. My Dr. is Ikram Kureshi at Texoma Medical Center in Denison, Tx. Edited November 15, 2008 by Johnny51R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
