Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  New here, tomorrow is my day! Hi everyone, I am a newbie around this site though it looks very familiar to a Thinner Times site I was visiting the last few weeks and Low Carb Friends I have been w/ since last year....where I have made two terrific buddies and we chat everyday. I didn't feel the right vibe at Thinner Times so I hope to feel better here. A little about me, I am a mom, 30 yrs old and have a wife (yes, you read that correctly) of 8 years. We live very comfortably in Davenport Iowa and together we have a great family and friends we share our lives with. Kate (wife) had gbypass a year and 3 months ago, I was carrying our daughter at the time so I waited until now, the time for me. I never thought I'd get this surgery to tell you the truth, thought my life would be dieting every other Monday and gaining and losing 40 pounds til the day I died. I wasn't a fat kid, the fat friend and until I turned 20 I wasn't even really that overweight, though compared to my size 2 friends and not fitting that 'mold' I was taunted a little. I have been dieting for the better part of 18 years, I still remember my first diet in 8th grade and with the exception of pregnancy, I have never gone longer than a couple weeks w/o a new plan that was going to be 'it' this time.... ANYWAY, once I realized I'd qualify it went very quickly. I started researching years ago and waited til now - but from start to finish (tomorrow  ) w/ the Bariatric center it was less than 2 months. For once my insurance wasn't going to cause a problem.I am ready, scared but prepared....I lived it everyday w/ Kate and I have several patients that have gone through it (I am a medical technologist for a family practice Dr.)....though nothing can prepare myself for what I personally will endure. Imagining myself a slimmer person at this point is the most exciting feeling in the world - I am so tired of the pain. I hope I am strong enough to do well with this....I hope to meet a couple if not more, great people along the way. Tomorrow is my rebirthday. I couldn't be happier......as for now I do the clean out bit, almost time for my 2nd colon cocktail, could there be anything more disgusting than that fosfa-soda stuff???? Thanks for reading, so far you all look pretty terrific, or should I say, fabulous.

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.  |
