Paula r u nervous?

Hello all. I have had a very eventful week. Before I get to that please let me introduce myself. My name is Crystal. I'm 33 yrs old and mother of 3 boys. I'm at my heaviest weight to date. In 2011 I lost both of my parents 4 months apart. My dad was a type 2 diabetic and had his second stroke in June. He was 60. My mother was 300lbs. + my whole life and developed cirrhosis of the liver due to fatty liver. We lost her in Oct. She was 56. Since then my weight has shot up by approx. 40 lbs. and I truly consider myself in midlife based on my parents' fate and the rate I'm going. So this week has been life changing. I met someone at work & we were discussing her amazing 100 lb. loss. I expressed to her that I have considered surgery in the past but my insurance denied me. She then hesitantly told me she had a VSG. She was hesitant because no one but her husband knows. She told me a funny story about one of her visits to the surgeon and encouraged me to continue to pursue it and she would help support me in any way she could. She said that her husband was very supportive and they managed their money so they could pay for her to have the surgery without going through their insurance. That evening I went home and shared my encounter with my husband. Sharing this story was more for the funny story she told me. Later my husband came to me and said we can figure out how to pay for you if that is what you want. I was over the moon and have been since. I see the surgeon on Feb 11th. So I hope to have surgery by early March. Because I'm not going through insurance I don't think I have to go through all of the requirements. We will see. Prayers would be greatly appreciated as I try to wait patiently. I hope that I can make some great supportive friends here. Thank you for reading my story.
