MY STORY

I had an rny in 2001, lost 160 pounds, and kept it off for about 11 years. I gained 100lbs 7years ago when I got pregnant with my only child and I had preeclampsia. On and off extreme dieting and working out and I never was able to take off a lot of weight. I got up to 245 but I have lost 25 lbs in the last few months by using shakes and limiting consumption to 1000-1200 calls but it’s going so slow and I feel desperate. I’d love to get the DS but apparently I need to be 40 BMI and I’m 37. I don’t think I have any comorbidities. I have struggled with Anemia, but i’m wondering if that is because of scar tissue - In 2010 or 2011 I had a partial blockage of my intestine and they had to “unwind” my intestinal track because it got twisted. I currently have Kaiser and am looking into getting Anthem Blue Cross PPO but I’m trying to be strategic in figuring out steps to set me up for a good chance to be approved.
