Having to step away

Sadly I must say farewell.  I have given up hope of having WLS done.  First of all I cant afford the trip to Indy every month.  I live an hour and a half away in Brazil.  I cant afford the food for the SWL class or rather the liver reduction diet.  Has anyone really priced meat lately?   I also cant eat said food.  I have to have all my teeth removed over the next year or so.  They are crumbling.  Guess its from my having Lupus. So I am stuck like this, stuck in this body till I get a miracle.  

I read the requirements for medicaid.  They needed 6 months supervised (documented)weight loss, I had that in my medical records.  So why cant that be used?  I wanted this more than anything in my life.  I wanted to live.  I quit smoking, i backed off on the caffeine.  

I found out I had to have a CPAP.  Apparently I quit breathing something like 27.1 times an hour.  For as long as 48 sec.  Still no high blood pressure, or diabetes.  I do have problems with my sugar dropping.....

Anyways thanks for having me here...Will leave my profile just in case I get that miracle.  Good luck to everyone on their journey.  God Speed to you all.  And remember this if you can, no matter what happens you are all beautiful people.  


 

Dont give up.. Maybe you just need to look for another surgeon who is closer? When I first started this journey I had my heart set on a surgeon in Carmel.. she was wonderful but the drive there was too much for me as well and I couldnt meet all their requirements. I started over this past April and as of last Friday I now have a surgery date. You can still get this done... dont give up yet!
