Well, my Dr. has finally talked me into it! I am trying to get the
WLS! I am 5' 11'' and 315. BMI of 43. My doc has tried to get me
to have WLS for 2 yrs, but I always said I could do it on my own, and
then went to Krispy Kreme. Know what I mean?
Anyway, my Dad passed in March. I started thinking about my life,
and what it was like to have the greatest Dad in the world. I sit
around, and breath heavy when doing strenuouse excersize like hunting
for the remote. I used to khike, SCUBA, rock clims, and go
rappelling. Now I do none of that. I want my child to have an
active Dad.
My Dr. said he recommends Dr. Scott Pennington, because he is a good
Christian surgeon, and someone he trusts. That was enough for me. I
have BC/BS Prefered something or another. I hope they accept me.
I haven't been to the presentation, but I have done so much
research. Funny thing, I began trying to find NEGATIVE info on the
surgery. Like I said, I didn't want to have it. But the more I
researched, the more I have found that it is perfect for me. I am
sold. Sometime this month I am supposed to go to the presentation.
