Where do I start? I have been overweight mostly all of my life, but this is the largest I have eve been. I am 36 years old, single with no kids and miserable as hell.I have been trying everything under the sun to lose weight, Weight Watchers, Slimfast, Harrisfast, Liquid fast, Atkins, you name it, I have tried only to lose some and gain it all back and some. I recently had to make the hardest decision of my life and that was I had to quit my job due to my health Sept.15,2006. I had been fighting with my insurance at the time (BCBS) for 6 years trying to get them to cover my WLS, but they just keep denying me because they said that 1. when a person has the surgery they become a high financial risk to them, I'm a financial risk to you now. And 2. that they just can't afford to start cover the surgery for everyone because that would make their already cheap policy more expensive. So basically they did not give a damn about their employees. So now I am strictly depending on Medicaid Disability right now, and finding a doctor that will cover the surgery under Medicaid has been almost as hard as with BCBS. They keep telling me that if I was on Medicare then it would be not problem. But I am not, and I have to be on Medicaid 2 years before I can get Medicare. "They say when it rains, it pours." They did not lie. I just feel like I am getting the run around from all angles. I hate to sound so bitter and angry but that' the only way I know how to be right now.
