Default The New Me

My name is Tiffiany. I am not approaching my three-month milestone. I have been lurking around the site and I am so encouraged by the numerous postings. I am mostly excited about a forum in which I can communicate and learn with people going through the same journey. I find it rather challenging to attend any local groups due to my schedule, so I would first like to say...THANK YOU!

This time last year I walked into a weight loss facility and asked for some help. I told them that it was my last resort because I was fed up! The program was very similar to everything I had experienced short-term success with. I knew that I was the source of my problem so I was ready to try the same program again. Then they said they wanted $1200 up front. All I could do was laugh histerically. I had already invested several thousands of dollars and I was still a danger to myself. I had dabbled with the idea of wls for about a year but I thought of it not to be an option due to funds. A friend had just come back to work from FMLA that he took in order to have wls. He informed me that our insurance paid 100%. That was it. I knew enough about myself to know that I needed the accountabilty and the time to learn. Additionally, I needed the encouragement to stay on track. I dug deeper.

Thank God I did! I am now down by 56 lbs. I never realized just how much those 56 lbs were doing to me. To cut my toe nails I had to do a contortionist exhibt. Just the other day my kids were trying to sneak around me as I was sleeping. They were not able to get away with anything because according to them, they could not tell if I was sleeping or not. I did'nt snore! People have even commented on my confidence level and the fact that I look more relaxed.

I love the way I feel now! My concern is not wathing the pounds waste away. I am dreadfully scared that I will not learn the lessons I need to learn and I will gain all of my weight back three years from now. But that is a major reason why I decided for the wls. I need substantial time learn.

Thank you again for all the post! I am amazed by all of your dedication and commitment to yourself and your family.

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.
