I am tired of feeling and hurting like crap. I always said if I got to the point where being overweight prevented me from living a good life then I would do something about it.
Now I am a prisoner to my own body and it is time. I am sick of not being able to physically do the things I used to do.
A few years ago I was diagnosed with a terminal heart disease that has nothing to do with being overweight. It is a miracle I have lived this long. So it seems that whatever time I have left - one year or 30 years, I want to live life to the fullest. I am still here so God must have a plan for me.
I always wanted to loose weight without any help from special diets and surgeries. And in the past I always was able to do that. But after I got sick, I was unable to do any kind of exercise at all. I could not work so I became depressed. So the weight has just poured on and I feel for the first time in my life that I am not strong enough to loose the weight by the best way or eating right, exercise and mental motivation.
I am praying so much that my medicare advantage insurance will cover this procedure. I was so excited about it when I learned that the procedure is nothing like the other weight loss surgeries. I will call tomorrow to see what I can do and what my insurance can do for me. No turning back.....I am ready!
