Talked to my Doctor today again about Lap Band Surgery!
I talked to my Doctor again today about the Lap band surgery, there was a free seminar last month but shoot I was too busy to even try to get there to see it so I’ve set myself up with another one over In Columbia, MO;
They are having a free seminar this Saturday too, but we are expecting more nasty weather, so I chose to try and go to the one on January 22, 2009 at 3:00 p.m.
So I hope the weather is good that day and that I can get over there and go to this free seminar, the only thing now is I read on the site that they don’t accept medicare or medicaid for this procedure; It was my understanding that they did so I don’t know, that’s all I have is Medicare and until our idiot’s that got elected in MO. take office I’ve no idea what sort of changes if any they will be doing, it would be nice if Medicare, Medicaid somebody helped to pay for this otherwise I won’t be able to do it; And I badly need to do this;
One of my cousins had that other gastric ( major surgery done) over a year ago , it was a year in November and she’s lost 167 lbs.
Wow! That’s a lot !! I know she’s lost more by now too but I’ve not talked to her since around Christmas;
Back when I was 20 I had my stomach stapled that was around like 1981, maybe even 1980 not sure of the date but I do know that by the time my first niece was born I had lost a lot of weight and she was born 12/1981 so anyway by around 1986 I had slowly started to gain the lost weight back and from then on, my live just went to hell in a hand basket in all aspects and yes I gained all the weight I had lost back AND MORE…and I’ve been on one yo-yo diet after another;
Since the ( MVA) in 1996 I’ve gained weight and more weight and more weight , about 3 years ago I had joined Curves and the YMCA and I lost right at 62 lbs maybe a bit more, then slowly started to gain it back , which I did every last stinking pound and right around 50-60 lbs MORE - -HOLY CRAP!!!
ITS SO DAMN FRUSTRATING TOO!!
I don’t have money to buy junk food, I never have, my biggest weakness is soda, ( Mountain Dew) & Chocolate, I’m a huge
DEW-A-HOLIC AND CHOCOHOLIC!!!! Seriously!!!
I can’t get out and exercise like a normal healthy person with
my neck and back injuries thats just impossible;
My discs in my lower back have gotten so much worse since when I had started curves that is out of the question and most days I can’t even make to the YMCA to do my aquasizing classes and I love those but my stupid back just hurts too much to even go the last couple of months, I hate this, and I hate my life;
I take so much medicine for so many different health issues, and I’ve been shot up with so many steroids in
(trigger point injections) for my neck, I was fat enough before but this is just INSANE! I NEED HELP !!!
and I need it NOW!!!
So there is a lot for to me to do, a lot for me to consider again as I face this next step in my life, but I desperately need it;
My doctor tells me that this lap band surgery is backed up for like a year or more??? GOOD GRIEF!!!
maybe between now and then I can come up with the money one way or another huh? That would be awesome! I just pray that stupid medicare does and will pay for most of it;
I just don’t know, but we shall see!!
