sandy M.
my name is sandy...i live on the ky/tenn line. i have been married for almost 9 years. i have two beautiful daughters and a fantastic niece that lives with me. i have not always been overweight but i was not always skinny either. when i was thirteen i was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder that required me to take steroids off and on for several years. that began my journey to being who i am now. now i dont blame the steroids for my weight that was just the beginning i have made myself who i am by my own actions and i own that. i have tried for the past 7-8 years to have wls and everytime it seems like i am going to get approved my husbands company would change thier insurance providers and i would then be denied. several years now i have been battling with a rare skin disorder that my doctors had been unable to find a cure for and i have missed more work than i actually worked. because of this i became eligble for state covered insurance..and they cover wls 100%!!!!! YAY ME!!!!! i am so excited and looking forward to the future. i used to be described as the girl who smiles all the time but that really isnt the case anymore. i miss who i used to be. the last fifty pounds ive gained has really changed me. im no longer happy and it is rare that i smile. i miss me...i cant wait to be who i once was and i cant wait to be who i was always meant to be..
