after many years of single parenting and taking cae of others I have decided to take care of ME!! I had an epiphany when I fell out of the raft while white water rafting and it took way too many people to pull me in the boat. I was crying and laughing at the visual images that ran through my head of possible outcomes and being a beached whale flashing the raft (my rearend was a horrifying thought) , not being able to keep up with the group physically was an embarrassment. I always avoided those situations and there I was doing just that.... I was depressed that the option of bariatrics was beyond my reach or thoughts of possiblities at the time . Now the Insurance covers the procedure ,if one meets the requirements. I met them all ,but cardiac failure at 43 yrs of age UGGHH. well I am off to a great start and look forward to my journey to ME. You might say I took the leap of faith and got wet and now and swimming against the current with the strength I get from my family and friend at home and my support group. Thanks to all for being there ...may we all go far
