Introducing "Me"
Sep 15, 2009
Hi, everyone. I am a 28 year old single mother of a loving 13 year old son with ADD, who is my world. My weight is just one of the many challenges I have faced in my life. I don't regret any of them, though, because they have made me a stronger person. I am 5'4 and 309 pounds with diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, PCOS. I've tried several diets, and although some of them worked, I would gain the weight back. I am considering wight loss surgery because I want to be around a long time for my son, become healthy, and stop dealing with the issue of hard to find cute clothes that aren't expensive. I'm mostly considering the Vertical Sleeve, but would consider the Lap-Band. I am afraid of the Gastric Bypass because of so many risks. The problem is I only have Medicaid as insurance. I called Medicaid directly and they stated that they will pay for Gastric Bypass and the Lap-Band, but I can't find a doctor that will accept. I believe the sleeve would help me more, but financially I'm not able to make large payments at the moment. I'm just getting ready to graduate college this month with a Bachelor's degree in Human Resource Management from Faulkner University, a private Christian college. There are few people hiring due to the economy, so finding a job is tough, especially in Alabama. Anyway, I'm going to keep calling and not give up. When I feel like giving up, I listen to the song below that truly helps me because it's so inspirational.www.kovideo.net/music/video/Whitney-Houston---I-Look-to-You/5773.html
