I am a 37 year old mother of two wonderful boys ages 14 and 4, they are the world to me and i really want to get healthy enough to see them grow up and have families of thier own and in order to do that I feel like WLS is my last option. I have struggeled with this horrific problem most of my life and can only remember being average size as a small child. I have a wonderful man that loves me as I am ...yes..all of me ,it is hard to believe that someone can love you even when you feel as if you cant love yourself but it can happen. I have so many medical problems from all this extra weight that I am on around 15 different meds and two breathing machines. I do not have the strength or energy to really even enjoy life anymore let alone work, I am ready to take back control of my life and start living again not just existing...I have been looking into the surgery and working on it for about a year now and I am finally making a little progress ...I am on medicaid so this has been a very long and slow process. I found the only two doctors in my entire state that will take medicaid and they are both about 5 hours from my home but I am willing to do anything at this point, I talked with both offices but one of them showed alot more concern for my situation so of course I chose them. My primary care dr. was sent some paper work that I had to have filled out one form every month for 6 months. I am at my six month and will be sending off my paperwork next week and then they have 30 days to approve me or not but I am praying for the best . I was at 356 pounds but in trying to prepare for this i have dropped about 30 pounds and gee it only took a year...lol... I am at about 325 now and that is really almost 200 pounds overweight...I am sick of being considered SUPER MORBID OBESE, I want to be normal and live a full and healthy life... I will keep posting so i can let everyone know of my progress... HOPING FOR SURGERY ...ASAP
