I am a 52 yr old woman and I weigh at this time 253Lbs. I have fought with my weight all of my adult life. I have yoyo-ed too many to count along with the diets I have tried. I start off doing ok and lose a few lbs just to put twice as much back on. Diet pills........ I think I have tried just about all of them out there. I finally got it in my head that I was just going to be an overweight person and that was that. But its has gotton harder for me to get out of a chair now, I quit smoking nearly 5 months ago to feel better but the only difference I feel is I don't cough any more. I can't stand for my than 10-15 minutes without my back hurting so bad that I want to cry, I walk more than few feet I run out of breath, my basement steps are torture, I am like hyperventilating by the time I am on the top. Now I have gerd which as I'm sure most of you know is a nightmare, I take 6 pills a day for that alone and still have tums a couple times a day. I am always nauseous because the acid comes up my throat. I also have some problem with the esophagus as well, not sure what its called, still waiting for the dr to get back with all my tests results. Anyways it causes my food and drink to get stuck right at the sphinter muscle. I feel that having this surgery would let me have my life back so I can enjoy watching my grandkids grow up, and so I can have enjoy getting out and doing things with my husband, like ride our bikes, go for walks, ect.
I am just at the beginning of my incredible journey. I never thought I would be here but now that I am, I' m going in head first. I have called my insurance company, I have United Healthcare through my husband. They said that after my deductible was reached they would pay 85% as long as dr's and hospital was in my plan. I have also registered for the seminar, that will be on June 9. Is there anything else I could be doing right now?
