Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

5' 6" Height: | Good morning! Boy, did I sleep in late today...  Around the time of my 2nd birthday, I became ill with pneunmonia and almost didn't make it. When I returned from being in the hospital, I was so weak and thin that I was unable to walk. My older sister wanted me to get better and fed me things like potaotes with grizzle and gravy, lots of fat and starch. She told me this story. She said she always felt guilty for me being so heavy. Maybe she "turned me on" but I sure don't blame her. That was then and this is now. I love to eat and found peace and comfort while eating, using it as an escape as well as the fact that I love to create and eat my creations. It was a group of things that all interelated. I will admit that food was/can be a drug for me. |

| I noticed alot of my weight came about with the pregnancy's but i did nothing either the fix the gains. My family genentics plays a big part as well. In the long run it was me....eating because....I was feeling....sad, happy, grateful, celebrating, company coming, death in family, being alone made it OK., or just boredom, needing something to do. It really didn't matter...it was food and it never talked back., it was always my friend. I miss my friend sometimes, and i am finding it hard to deal with..... Awwwwww food.....what would we do with out it????? ROBBIN

| WLS Mentor  | I would have to say that for me that the two biggest factors were my developing narcolepsy and wron diagnosis. I had been a very active person most of my life but when i hit 13 or so things started to change. I couldn't keep awake during school, didn't have any energy, started losing interest in participating in things, all i really wanted to do was sleep, but i still managed my active scheduale. School cheerleeder, junior and senior band, drama club, cross country running team co-manager, aerobics, volley ball team, tap dancing, baton, jazz, gymnastics, church choir, church daycare, altar guilde, and mega swimming during the summer at the cottage. But then children's aide got ahold of me, (seizures and halucinations getting their attention at the hospital and then giving me drugs to stop them that made me violent), and took me away from my family, my friends, my activities, schooling and even my home town. I was not allowed to participate in any of these activities and was even not allowed to go to school, so i ended up finding ways to look like i was reading or doing their "in home" schooling when i was really sleeping. It never registered that the inactivity meant that i couldn't eat the same amounts, not over eating but no activities to burn the calories, and the weight started there. There were many other factors, one being that i found during this emotional time that junk food, especially sweet stuff seemed to fill an emptyness and relieve the emotional pain. Lack of activity and lack of curbing what i ate and all the junk food on top of being tired all the time, lacking sleep to the point of hallucinating and seizures, weight just began to add up. At first i didn't even notice because of all of the emotional issues i was dealing with, well, i think i noticed but didn' set off any alarms or anything. The last hundred pounds that i have gained i am sure is mostly due to lack of excercise. When i moved to this town i moved from a town where there were buses and indoor shopping malls so i did a fair amount of walking, but here, there are no buses and no indoor shopping malls and i foun in winter instead of going out, because of the cold, and ice, (this town doesn't handle icy roads as well as it could) and really no where to go anyways. (sorry i'm not going downtown window shopping in -40 weather) the pounds just seemed to pack on.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | As far as my weight..... I won't blame it on my children but that is when I started gaining weight. But we all have to be accountable for ourselves and the thing that made me gain all the weight was ME... Eating the wrong foods, making the wrong choices and ME turning to food for comfort when stressed or upset. So I have to say the one thing that made me obese is....ME and BAD FOODS
