I am new here
Hello,<br>I have been reading all I can about WLS
and I also have a friend that just had it done 4 mos.
ago. I am scared to death about the surgery…more
about after like blood clots and such. I have 4
children at home ages ranging from 2-15 and do not want
them to have no mommy. I probablt sound stupid. anyway
I am 5′9 and weight 270, I am a sz. 24 and have
tryed some kind on diet for most of my life but to mo
avail. I want so much to be able to play with my kids
and to get some self confidence. I do not have
diabetes or high bp, I do feel tired all the time and
sleep poorly, my legs and knees hurt all the time and
so do my hips and back. I barely ever leave home
anymore. I have fibromyalgia and bipolar disorder and
panic disorder and am afraid that will keep me from
being oked for WLS. well this has been to long I will
end thanks for listening.<br>lexi

Good luck Lexi. I don’t think your problems will
prevent you from getting approved. What they are looking
for is a food dependency that will prevent you from
being able to stick to a strict diet afterwards. I will
say a prayer for you. I am 2 1/2 months postop & I am
here if you ever want to talk.<br> Renee
