Gastric Bypass
Future, and present patients
because we never really become past patients...
right?
So I am a 43 year old mother of 1 very active son. Wish I had more but with my weight issues I was blessed with just one and I am happy about that. Right after he was born I started looking into weight loss surgery. I had a few disappointments in the road.. first with the surgeon at the widely know weight loss center they had to get an ok because of my white blood cell count was low.. Turned out I called them incompetent because it was 4 days before I was to have surgery! So I was cancelled and then after going through all the hoops with insurance.. my husbands company changed their policy after 9/1 and my surgeon went to get approval on 9/3 so no go there. I thought I was destined to never have surgery. In 2009 I started working for a hospital and they had coverage and I started to think about it again.. and again.. I still was not sure on January 1 as we all do make some crazy resolutions we can't obtain. I remember that morning... I was getting a shower and was getting ready top host my in-laws and the stepped on the scale (naked) hey at 350 pounds.. really?
There is was 365.... I will remember that moment the rest of my life.
I called the surgeon that I was working with a few years prior and he agreed to see me and count my past requirements as met. I did have to do a few more dietary meetings. I was determined no ONE was going to ruin this for me! On March 24 2010 I received a email at work since it was the same hospital system.. The title line from the coordinator said APPROVAL...
I screamed at my desk! I immediately called.. as my supervisor said when ever you can get in.
I did and surgery was set for 4/5/2010
I will continue my struggles and accomplishments!
There are so many.

I have researched it all and will tell you what I think.I want all your questions!
