I have had weight problems my whole life and now at the age of 38 I really need to get this weight off. I have tried many different diets over the years but none seemed to work for the long haul. My family worries about me due to my heart condition. The worry is due to I was told in 2007 I have CHF and had to have an ICD placed to help my heart to function correctly. My parents keep telling me I have two boys ages 13 and 10 who need me to be around for a long time to come. Then I also have a stepson who is 14 and his dad who I married 5 years ago who also need and wants me to be around. I feel at times like my life is a prison and I am serving a death sentence due to being severely obese. I also feel like I embarrass my boys because of how big I have gotten. I have decided it is my time and life and I have seen a surgeon to try to have weight loss surgery done to help me reach a more for feeling life and be able to do things with my boys and others. I have done everything needed to get the surgery but I have PEIA and have not lost the 10% . Therefore, I am fighting with PEIA to get this surgery done. I believe with my heart problems the insurance company should over look the 10% and approve the surgery. However, that does not always work that way.
