I got my stamp of approval today with my insurance! I was in my kinder classroom when I got the news. I jumped for joy first to thank My Lord and then I did the happy dance and of course the kids danced with me. After a sec or two one asked .. who's birthday is it and the reply was " it must be her birthday I think adults have them everyday! Well it's not my birthday it's my new day! So excited that it's my turn to Celebrate to my new beginning! Now waiting to find out surgery date.

Well i have been given a surgery date.. won't he do it. Whoop whoop and now the big question.. when they called about surgery date did they discuss financing because I had to poke at them to tell me how much this was gonna cost. Doctor and hospital is separate I knew that but they still need to discuss and get more information from the insurance about the cost. I think I'm more nervous about the cost than the actual surgery..

I hate that there is such a negative stigma around WLS. Before I had surgery I had so many people tell me it was the "easy way out." Yeah, WLS CAN help you lose weight, but it's the dedication of the patient that leads to long term success. I used to tell people "If you think eating 500 - 1000 calories per day for the REST OF YOUR LIFE is easy? Let's see YOU do it without medical assistance!"
Now...I just let my results shut their mouths. Stay strong and do what's right for you!

WLS is exactly that a tool, we go through six months of learning with a nutritionist on how to learn proper eating. I have lost and gained the same 40 or so pounds for the past ten years and I just decided I needed medical intervention. I'm a perfect candidate and I'm very healthy body wise, so I decided I needed some help . Do your research and read everything you can so that when you make your decision it will be the right one for you and you alone. Just let the negativity go, it will pass.

Yeah, I think this question says more about the asker's feeling about themselves than anything else. I'm betting you don't hear it from people who haven't struggled yo-yo dieting. I mean, unless they are assholes.

Everyone who watched me go through this process pre-op and post-op knows there hasn't been anything EASY about this process.
