I change my Mind

Talk to anyone like WHAT, Reenie?  Like calling someone A PIG IN A TROUGH!!!???  Pot, kettle, black, YOU.

Jeez, louise - on an OBESITY SUPPORT SITE, you actually had the GALL to call someone a PIG.  You should be ashamed of yourself.  You really, really should.

Surgery IS dangerous but so is being morbidly obese and having the co-morbidities that go along with it. Hell driving a car is dangerous I know folks that died in car accidents. Plane crashes kill folks too. Whether or not you have surgery is totally your choice and pre surgery jitters are normal but yours appaer to be a bit extreme in my opinion. You may want to consider spending some of the money you are saving by cancelling your sugery on a good therapist to address these fears

Hey,


I tell you what you can do. Tell your insurance you know a lady in Tennessee that wants to have it . Tell them to send me your approval.I will call my surgeons office and my surgery as soon as they can get me in.

I have been trying to have the this surgery for months but my current insurnace has an exclusion in the policy. I am desperate and want it so bad but can't afford to pay full price for the surgery. It is hard to look at these types of post when you a struggling obese person like me.

 

 I know in Dallas they have an all inclusive package for $9999. My Mom has been looking into it. Maybe you can see if there are any there? I know 10 grand is a huge hunk, but just an option.

Good Luck!

It's your choice, no one can force you to have WLS.  Evidently you aren't ready to live healthier.

I wasn't fortunate enough to have insurance to pay for my WLS, I self-paid and believe me although it cost allot and it set me back financially it was one of the BEST things I've ever done in my life......I was ready though and you must be ready.

I agree DON'T have WLS, you don't appear to be ready.


As for bleeding to death, serious complications and "everyone" that is BS.  There are complications with WLS as with any surgery but it is not everyone.

Yes, you could bleed to death..rare, but I guess it could happen.  You could also walk across the street and get hit by a car today and spattered all over the road.  In the end, the result is the same isn't it?

Why did you feel the need to post you changed your mind?  Why not just walk away and go on with your life?  Just curious.

Where have you been hiding?

I'm sure I'm about to be Mommy buttoned for telling an idiot they are an idiot so before we all go poof into the ether..nice to see you my little lamb.  What has been happening in your world?

I only personally knew 2 people who had WLS one had the 80's stomach stapling and I watched her visit our house overeat and puke in our backyard. She later had to have it undone, the talk was she popped a staple, but now I'm more educated so perhaps it was staple line rupture. The other person was her sister...who had it because "everyone else at work was getting it done", this was probably 2001 or 2002, she had nothing but complications, was near death many times, then her surgeon moved out of state leaving her helpless.

Well despite this I needed to SAVE my own life. I was on Ohio Medicaid, and I chose to go 2.5 hours away from home to get a good doctor, like I said the hometown doc had just left town, but I would have never had surgery in my hometown. I guess I was lucky that Medicaid paid for the nutritionist appts, etc.

First, I seriously think you should see a therapist.  You have greater issues than just fearing this surgery.  I hear depression screaming thru your words.  Alot of us are depressed, no shame in that and it shouldnt cost you a dime, medicaid will pay for it.

Second, I dont care if your getting food stamps, your still spending a lot of money on food to be the obese person you are.  No hiding that fact with this crowd.  So dont tell me you cant afford a a couple hundred.  Make arrangements to pay in small monthly payments.  You will be amazed at the money you will save on food after surgery.

Last, you are not ready.  Take your time, get your head straight and come back to it when your ready.  Just do the world a favor and dont use Jesus to hide behind.  Leave him out of this.  He wants you to be your best, not crawl in a hole and wait for death.

I truly hope you get the help you need.

Oh and Heather, at the risk of you now attacking me, get a hold of yourself.  Your fighting just to fight.  Very childish.
