I didn't exspect.....

I went for my stress test and ....well they called me and told me that I have a blockage and it is very serious. I have been crying since 5pm. I am just blown away. This past 6 1/2 weeks has sucked for me! Ovary about ready to burst,over sized uterus (hysterectomy), diagnosed with diabetes,fatty liver disease, hardening of the kidneys, denial from insurance company, and now a blockage! If I had not gone to seek out this wls I would never have known all this stuff was happening....I don't know whether to be happy or sad about knowing. I am only 36 years old and I exercise 3-5 days a week! Why? Why? Why? Why? I guess I go back on the 6 week body make over. I can lose on that but my problem is keeping it off. The surgery is denied by the insurance company for now because of the small business. Jon and I have talked about refinancing the house to pay for the surgery. If that is the case I only have to meet the Dr.s criteria....not the insurance company. So I can stop worrying about them and try to lose some weight. And to think this was the first time I was ever called a light weight. At 260lbs I am falling apart. Sorry to cry on line but I am sure you all understand much more than anyone else. Tammy

Thank god they found it in time that you can do something about it. When are they going to take care of the blockage? I'm so sorry you are having to go through all of this. Try to relax as much as possible. Do some healthy things that make you feel good. Worrying is just going to make it worse. The 6 week body makeover is a good call. Just losing a little weight as Earl mentioned can only put you ahead of the game if you do decided to do the WLS and refinance the house. Know that we are here to support you!! (((((HUGS))))))

Good lord, I am so sorry; you have been through the wringer. I know it will work out, and you will do what you must do to be healthy. We are always here.

Tami, In times like these I try to look at the good side of it. I mean, you know I feel like a toad whining about my saggy boobs! Bad Val. At any rate, what I mean is that I believe God brings us to things for a reason. He wanted you to find out about this, that's why you were made to go through this. I am assuming they are gonna fix your blockage first right? This can actually be another comorbid feather in your cap for getting your surgery approved. Now we know the weight HAS to come off to relieve the stress on your heart. I am glad they found out now and not on the OR table. Now, you can fix it. This type of thing happened with Earl too. He had a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lung) and those are hugely fatal. Earl was one of the lucky few that got treated immediately. That was his wake up call to be sure. It's not your time, and we are gonna make sure that you are here with us a long long time. BTW It's ok to cry, ask why, but remember that the answer doesn't come to us right away. You will see it, just be patient, be still and let it reveal itself. I know I am one to talk, I have a hard time with that. There's a reason my claim was denied. I don't know why, don't understand it, but one day I will. You hang in there. Go hug your kids and your hubby, and thank God they found that blockage so that you can have a lifetime of hugs and kisses. We'll get you there just hang in and be that strong woman we all know you are. BIG HUG! Val
