I am 28yrs old..I went for an informational session back in August and right now i am at the mercy of going through my insurance hoops.. I have been seeing my PCP for almost the required 6 months.. I was sent in for my sleep study which did show i have mild sleep apnea... Before Thanksgiving i went in for my 1st consult with the surgeon and weighed 290 on their scales.. After Thanksgiving i buckled down and have been getting on a low carb kick and am down to about 277. Surgeon required me to lose 10lbs. I have to wait at this point till after my 6th appointment before my PCP can submit to the insurance to see of i get approval for surgery. I am hoping they do i have wanted this for a long time.. I have always been heavy and know that i have very low self-esteem from my weight. All through school i was picked on and put down. I was married for 5 yrs and recently divorced back in July 08. I have no kids just my cats. I am looking ot have the RNY done. My family is plagued with health problems and overweight themselves. I don't wanna go down that road anymore and don't wanna have diabetes or heart problems. I already have mild sleep apnea which others in my family have and just wanna be happy and healthy. I am hoping that my Cigna insurance will approve my surgery and i can have it around March.
