I am 24 years old and am going in to have the gastric bypass this Friday October 3rd; I am all kinds of nervous right now but it’s the good I know I have made the right choice.
I am single, with no kids, 2 cats and a dog that share my small condo, and this is my story.
I made my decision about a year and a half ago; it really was at the time an uninformed decision. I had gone in to a new doctor on my company’s health plan over my IBS and allergies which had been slowly getting worse. I thought nothing of my weight; really I thought I was doing pretty well keeping it under control, It wasn’t till that doctor came in and called me morbidly obese to my face that’s when I woke up to the fact I am a larger than I thought I really ever was. I mean if you knew me and how active I am in life you never would have thought I am as large as I am when I started a year and a half ago I weighted 340lbs. Now I am 329lbs I have been on many diets over my year and half time frame and I did really well for a while on the first diet on the journey and lost 30 to 40 pounds then as companies do my insurance changed.
I had to find a new doctor which was great and also a pain trying to explain that I am doing well on a drug and losing weight, but having trouble breathing and the inability to sleep. (I think that time was when my house was its cleanest) Although at the time I didn’t like the fact he was removing me from a tool that had been working so well, I understood why he did it those were bad side effects to keep putting my body though whether it worked or not. So continuing on the path to losing weight he brought up having the gastric bypass and how it help, what it did the only thing then was how / what would I have to do to get approval from my insurance company.
Well, this looks like a good stopping point at least for now, I will post more soon…
