  1. thanks for your replys, this site is really cool bc a lot of people in here can relate. Im so scared bc of the ins just denying me, but my mom tells me to think positive, she had gastric bypass and bc of the muscle disease they just approved her. So i dont know im just so ready to not be fat anymore i hate it. Its just that nobody has ever heard of the muscle disease before so it sucks trying to tell my dr about it when he doesnt even now about. The dr that find it in my mom has already past away so i cant go to him :thumbup:
  2. so lets start with me... 26, 5'9 and at 285 :crying: with a bmi of 42. i started gaining weight only about 3 yrs ago after i had my beautiful baby girl. I have tried diets i just cant seem to keep the weight off, im hungry all the damn time i cant seem to get a break,.... the weight justs keep piling on. Obesity runs in my family..moms side not to mention that she also has a gentic muscle desease called central core desease thats in the legs, which i have it, and my poor daughtor has it also. I walked normal and everything you wouldnt know it until i started to walk upstrairs our get off of the floor our attempt to run stuff like that. So with the weight problem my muscle problem gets worse. So i wanted to try to talk to my dr about this surgery, but im scared because i havent been overweight for all my life. But then again i cant get rid of the weight because i cant really work out like normal people. I just really hope the ins will get approved, i go to talk to my dr on the 1st.
