Default Finally made my decision
I finally have decided to have the surgery for myself. For years, my doctor and family have been urging me to get this done but in the back of my mind, I just figured I could do it the "natural" way of eating less and exercising. Well after 3 more years of trying, I have decided the surgery is the best tool to help control my never ending need to eat.

I have decided to pay for the surgery myself and after visiting about 5 surgery groups have found one that I really like their approach to the issue. I have to drive 2 hours to get there but I think it will be worth it. They will let me do some of my follow ups with my physician so I don't always have to drive down there.

I am excited and scared all at the same time. Its a very wierd feeling.

I have already been exercising so I am going to step that up a bit prior to surgery to build up my strength and endurance for what will happen in September.

I plan to document my journey so that I will always have something to look back on and learn from.

Thanks for listening and more to come....

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
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.

Welcome to the board and you will love it here and the people are just so awesome and are such a wonderful support group and they have helped me so much with questions that I have had. I would never be this far if not for these wonderful people. I live to far away from a support group and this is my support right here and I can go on here any time I want to and not have to wait a month for a meeting. I am actually a lot of times on here twice a day and some days more if I get the time. This is my second home and family. I love being here and reading posts and all the wows and the before and after pictures. What most expeiernce I also experinece becasue of being overweight and finding the new me. This will be the best thing that you will ever do for yourself. I am so thankful everyday for my surgery and the new life I have now. I can do things again and not look from the outside and everyone else is having fun but me just the fact i was just too heavy to do them and now I can do them.
