My name is Alisha and I am 26. current weight 216, height 5.2

I have family history of diabetese, stroke, cholestrol, sleep Apnea, hypertension, kidney disease. Infact my mom has all of these conditions on top of morbid obeisity,, she is currently in the process of gastric sleeve surgery. When I went with her to her appointments I had a realization what uf I become this in the upcoming years. So far I dont have any comorbiditys but I am very overweight and ubhealthy weight wise. I have done many diets and programs only to gain all that back. I thought since my mom has sleep apnea, I might too and that will help me getting appricedr. By the way my bmi is 39.5 I have thyroid and currently take methimazole 5mg. I also have chronic constipation and chronic fatigue syndrome due to thyroid. My thyroid is hyper BUT I have all the symptoms of hypo, I know its weird, the docs cant seem to explain that either.

Anyways when I went for my sleep apnea results and it appears I don't have it, but the doc suggested to get MSLT done.. It is multiple sleep latency test since i.have all.the apnea symptoms.

Did anyone else had to go through this? Iam so scared that I won't be approved by my insurance.

I have no other Comorbidities but due to my family history I am very prone to all these problems.

I am seeing a bariatric surgean and finished all their requirements like nut, psych, barium swallow, ekg,.blood work etc.

I so hope this works out, I really want a.fresh start to being healthy.

thank you for listening, this forum has been a great treasure and I truly appreciate each and everyones input.

Congratulations!! Great news for you!!

A date!!! How exciting, I'm so happy for you! I am so glad also that you didn't have to go through the appeals process by being denied the first go around.

There is hope!

I had less then u do and my date is April 11th just do what the surgeon tells you they know what you will need. Plus they lowered the bmi to 35. It's nerve reckon I went through it and my husbands job changed insurence so I actually had to do 3 months more. It takes time but its worth it. Hold your head up and remember you goals..
