@@cmhueto thank you! This will hands down be the best money I ever had the chance to save and spend in a split second!

I am scheduled to have my sleeve done on June 3rd. I received a letter today stating my medical history and all tests were approved. I am paying out of pocket for this because my insurance does not cover it. I'm ok with this!!!! I have been waiting a very long time to get where I am and I am overly excited and anxious to get this surgery done. I'm 5'0'' 240lbs my BMI is 45.9. As obesity runs in my family, I refuse to end up like my father who before he has his sleeve surgery weighed almost 380lbs, with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type two diabetes and obviously obesity. Reality set in about 3.5 weeks ago when I, along with my cousin, her two boys and my 2 children took a fun trip to the zoo. I paid and waited 20+ minutes in line to ride the 800lb clydesdale (sp?) horses with my daughter and son. When I was ready to get on the horse, the man walking the horses told me (in front of 25 plus people) that I was too big to ride the horse. Not only did he embarrass me and humiliate me in front of total strangers her gestured with his arms that I was "too big to ride the horse" I held back my tears and walked out of line. I did get a change to meet with the supervisor for the horses and let me tell you, he didn't like what I had to say. I too like my father suffer from diabetes. my weight has restricted me from doing fun things like the zoo horse experiences and even amusement parks. I am happy to say this will be the best thing I spend a ton of money on!
