I actually started this about 6 years ago. I jumped all the hoops and got all the appoval from insurance and 2 days before surgery my husband freaked out and didn't want me to do the surgery tried to have me cancelled from his insurance, threatened to divorce me and just really got upset. So I put it off for a little while we agreed to do an diet and exercise program for a year together and then we would talk about it again. Well he never followed through doing it with me. But I tried hard for about 8 mo. my weight went up and down. Then when I went to look into it again his insurance changed and they excluded wls. So a couple more years went by and we ended up with the same insurance that approved me before but this time they excluded it to. Well a year 10 mon ago my husband left me for someone else (homewrecking co-worker)and he through in my face at least she cares what she looks like. I embarrase him. I did lose 50 lbs when he first left. but have put it back on plus some and have lost my insurance because he took me off. Which is a blessing! Because now I have Medicaid and they do pay for it providing you meet the guidelines. I do according to my dr office. I also have found a Dr. Which excepts medicaid. There are only 2 in Co that do. Dr. Schoens office has been wonderful and very helpful. They are Great! I have been doing everything I'm suppose to. I had my psyc eval,done. now i have nuti. class on sunday for 5 hours and monday I have a hemmatology consult. and then a pulmonary consult hopefully before Jan 17. so far I have one scheduled for Jan 26 which will screw up my surgery date and I'm really stressed over that. Dr. Office wanted it done before pre-op. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed all will go well. I want to do what I should have done 6 years ago. I have 4 beautiful children that I could have been doing a lot more with over the past 6 years. Now 3 of them are teenagers and I feel like we've missed alot. I think things are going to totally change when I have the energy and feel good about me. There is so much I want to do. I'm only 36 and its time I feel good and live. So if anyone hase any advise for me I would love to hear from you.
