Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Now that I have joined a few Diabetes groups and asked a few questions I thought I should explain why I am here. Basically after trying two years to have gastric bybass surgery, one run around after another with insurance, I was diagnosed with Diabetes. On top of 2 heart attacks, high BP, High and Low chorestral, thyroid desease (this is where most of weight came from) and 22 years of depression. What did insurance say? SIx more months with a nutrionist and then they will approve. Yeah right. My father died of complications from heart and diabetes 12 years ago this month. The diabetes and lack of oxgyn in heart surgery left him very irresponsable. It was like taking care of a wayward child for my mother. She couldnt turn her back on him. For fear of what he would do next. Most people dont know why I want the gastric bypass surgery. Wieght wise I barly meet the necessary weight needed to lose, but health wise I more than qualify. I have a just turned 15yo son who has schizoaffective disorder (birth mother was schizophrenic) who has kept me at home and under a lot of stress the last 10 years. But he is my entire life . Meds Im taking are glucaphage, wellbutrin xr 300mg, celexa 40mg, ziac x2 6.25/10, lipitor 10mg, naispan x2 500 mg, synthroid 200 mg, lasex, elavil. The worst news.... I am only 42 yo. Nice to meet everyone Alison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
