Now, new job, new insurance that does cover in cases of morbid obesity!! Why am I so sad?! I want this surgery more than I have ever wanted anything! I am so affraid of another denial.    — Puss I.

Haythere Kim, I can completely understand, I've never wanted anything so bad in my entire life either. I have a great husband who is walking me throught every step. If you need someone to talk to write to me at [email protected] , I havent had surgery yat, but my first consult is the 27th of October. And I've gotten all my pre-op done. Good Luck and I'll keep you in my prayers.. Bernice

Kim hang in there. I know that its scary to want something so bad and know that others are making up the rules as to if you can do it or not. Since youve been through this before I am sure youve gotten all your paperwork in order and your doctors office will do the rest. I will say prayer for you. And please contact me anytime if you need support. I am only 5 months post but willing to be there for you. I dont know how to become an angel or I would volunteer to be one for you. Just think soon you will on a new adventure in life. Take care

Kim, Hang in there girl!!! You've had a hard time in the past, but just because that was the case then, does not mean it will be this time! I know how you are feeling! Its been a about 2 years since I first said ok I am going to do this. Well Dec 3rd it's going to finally happen for me! I had to go thru ignorant doctors, stubborn insurance and other issues to get to this point, but I finally made it! And you WILL TO! Stay strong and push on because no one will make this happen but you!

Hi Kim. I know how you feel. My journey didn't take quite as long, but I had so many obstacles before I finally had surgery, and had so many disappointments. I finally got really depressed and my husband called my dr and told him that he thought I was suicidal. I almost was. But it passed, another day. I'm 6 mos on the other side now and have never regretted it. Hang in there. Third time's a charm. E-mail me if you want. Linda
