March 23, 2009 Well today i finally got the support i've been waiting to get from my family. Now i just have to get started and make an appointment with my pcp. I guess with medicaid i have to visit the dr. once a month for six mos. Try to lose about 20 to 30 lbs in the mean time. I have Medicaid Share of Cost, but soon will have full Medicaid. So intil then i'm gonna go ahead and get started on everything that needs to be done, that away i wont have to long to wait to have the surgery done. I'm so excited to get started. I've been dreamin of the day i get my approval. I'm scared but yet i'm not. I'm more scared staying the way i am and not doing nothing about it. I have a long life i want to live and i can't live it if i don't do something about it now, i'm only 32, i have 3 beautiful children that i want to watch grow up, i want to be there when my grandbabies are born to watch them grow up. Yup this is worth the risk of having surgery then not having it. I'm taking a bigger risk staying this way. I just can't lose it on my own. I need the help. I have gained almost 49 lbs since i had my daughter in 2007. I went from 265 after having her to 314. That's way to much weight gain. I haven't changed my eating habits or anything like that. I just think i'm getting older and my body is changing so along with the change i get this massive weight gain. So i'm gonna do something about it. WLS is right for me. I'm still undesided about which surgery i want done. I'm leaning more towards the lap band, but i'll discuss that with the weightloss dr. Hopefull i can find one who takes medicaid hmo.
