Everything has a beginning...
Last year I attended a forum regarding weight loss surgery. After doing some research, I've decided that getting gastric bypass is for me and is the first step toward having a tool for a new life.
Right now I feel hopeful yet stressed out. I won't lie that I'm nervous at the statistic that 1 in 200 people who have the surgery die. I received an initial denial from my insurance company. It appears that they feel my six month diet attempt wasn't good enough for approval. I will definitely appeal it as their documentation said it was a weight loss attempt and I attempted it. In the meantime, I'm completing another six month diet just in case my appeal is denied.
Also, I've isolated myself from people and want to start having more interaction. I hope I can "meet" a few people here.
Life is getting harder. It's getting harder to get around and almost impossible to get comfortable. I can't believe I've let my body down this way. It's so frustrating and disappointing.
I'm trying to get positive and move forward, but sometimes that's tough.
