I was 313 pounds, and had bad migraines and well I just could not stand on my feet for more than 10 to 15 min without my back giving out on me. My family has a history of stroke, heart attacks, diabetes and several other obesity related health issues. I was not to that point yet, but I knew it would happen. I lost both, my grandfather’s to strokes my grandmother, father and older sister to strokes. My older brother has had 3 heart attacks, so I seen the writing on the wall. Even at 313 pounds I had low blood pressure, l was hypoglycemic and had a metabolic rate of a zombie (LOL). I knew this was only temporary, at some point this would all change. I was denied by several insurance companies for having WLS because I was to healthy. I took my life in my own hands, and went to Tijuana, Mexico and paid out of my own pocket. Putting me first has never felt so good. I know it is a huge decision but I just could not give up because insurance companies said no. I am worth fighting for.
