My name is Rachel and I am the mother of two lil ones in Wisconsin. I play World of Warcraft online and work at a hospital lab. I am currently attending college part time for Business management. I would like to have surgery but my insurance doesn't cover it so I either need to pay out of pocket or find a new job, either is going to be tough for me but I really need to do something. My current weight is 310 and it's driving me crazy. If anyone wants to chat let me know!

Hi Rachel,

I would love to chat with you.  I know how you feel.  I have wanted WLS for so very long but my insurance would cover it either.  Then my company changed insurance and now I am covered.  We are on blue cross blue shield now.  I was so excited.  It still took me about a year to get all my classes and tests done.  I am having surgery next Thursday the 27th.  I am so very ready!

My husband is a WOW junkie.  He plays all the time.  I go to school at night as well as work a full time job so that keeps me pretty busy.

I know how hard it is to diet.  I told myself that I would not diet anymore.  It was either WLS or nothing.  Thank god the waiting paid off.

Talk to you soon!

Hi,my name is Shamonica and my insurance approved for me to have the gastric bypass surgery bu I got to pay 4000.00 dollars.I know how you feel.I weigh 234 pounds and I really need to lose this weight.

Hi Rachel, My  name is Candice and I have had my surgery done already, its almost been a year. I am a mother of one, but have furry critters to make up for the kids I can not have. I understand how you feel about the weight. When I started out I was 281 lbs and am now sittiing at 205. I haven't been able to lose anymore just yet but hopefully I can get the energy to push myself harder. After having my daughter my body judt quit working and the parts that stayed working were not working properly. I ended up developing a heart condtion and fibrlmyalgia which has placed so many limits on my life that I want to scream. Don't give up, and I am here if you ever need to vent or just want to chat. Good Luck!
