I was all scheduled and ready to have surgery in November of 2006 ... Wow 5 years ago! However, 2 weeks before my surgery date i was informed that yes, my insurance covered the operation - but I would have to come out of pocket several thousands of dollars. I'm really not sure what happened, I did give up after that, money does not come easy in my life so that kind of financial responsibility was not even an option. But now I'm re-thinking everything. I have a new insurance offered through the state of Indiana so I will be checking to see if this surgery is covered. This is not medicaid - I think medicaid does cover this surgery but I don't qualify for medicaid. This insurance is for adults who are working but do not have health insurance offered to them by their employer. So I have to pay for it, but not as much as paying for insurance outright. I don't know we'll see what happens. I've had this for 2 months although I was not aware I had it until the first month was nearly over. I'm looking into my options. I will schedule an appointment with my PCP this month and will go from there. I do hope that I can still have this surgery. I think I would have so much more to do with my life. I feel like a prisoner sometimes. Knowing that I can't do certain things because my weight and size exclude me from that activity. My daughter is 12 and sadly making poor decisions that she has simply learned by me. It's hard to change a lifestyle. I've tried and tried so many times to lose weight. I fail every time. It's this stronghold that I can't break. I've tried to give this to my Lord and Savior, but even then I fail. I don't know if I have just never truly given it over to Him or what. I am ashamed of myself and my problem with food. I'm afraid I have put my love for food above my love for my Lord. Which then makes food an idol. Ugh... how horrible is that? I don't make resolutions for the new year, I'm re-thinking this surgery because I now have some insurance, but I guess the new year and the new insurance coming together at about the same time would make a good start for the new year.
