Excited and possibly a little obsessed!

Oct 30, 2013

I have been considering WLS for several years.  My insurance never covered it so I never really persued it.  Then I find out my insurance now covers it. WOAH.  New ball game.  I'm so excited to think about the possibility of actually doing this.  I have one friend and one acquaintance that have had this surgery done.  I searched YOUTUBE for Gastric Sleeve and wow was I surprised to see all the video blogs.  I am really researching all the ups and downs of having this surgery.  I am obsessed with hearing every one elses stories.  It gives me so much hope and encouragement.   I am starting this blog today to keep track of how this process goes.  Today I weighed and I'm 263.  My all time highest weight was 283.  Summer of 2012 I was down to 248.   Such a frustrating rollercoaster.  My appointment to visit my primary care is set up for next Wednesday.  I'm hoping he will be supportive and refer me for this surgery.  If he doesn't I will be very upset.  I have made an appt to attend a seminar with the surgeon I believe I will end up choosing. I have all my paperwork filled out and I'm ready to get the momentum moving on this journey!
