Moving right along
2 days ago
When i made an appoinment w/ my pcp last week, I got in a mindset that he was going to tell me that wls was out of the question. Him and I always bumped heads about my weight andf properly losing weight.

I don't know if somebody was looking out for me, but things are happening in a wierd way. I was suppose t see him yesterday but couldn't make it cuz I was on a working house fire. I called to let them no I wasn't going to make it. I asked for another appt, got one today, got in the mindset that he was going to say no. I had all the scripts worked out for possible arguments w/ him.

I walk in  his office and there is a big sign that says he doesn't work certain days anymore, and today was one of them. Wooohooo!!!! He wasn't there. He collogue(sp) was and she was happier than I was about the surgery. got my referral for the cardilogist and had blood drawn.

Hoping to get a surgey date real soon

I have been approved

I didn't think it was going to go this fast. I consulted w/ Dr. P. on the 31st of July.  Today is the 14th of Aug. 2 weeksto get approved. I think that is a record for Amerihealth. I will know is less than a week when my surgery is. I still have some pre-op work to get done and lose alittle bit of wieght.
Who'd thunk it would be this fast! I thought I was going to have to wait until early next year.
now I can tell my pcp where to stuff it. (in a nice way)

My Story

Being fat most of my life and dealing with ribbing became a way of life for me. I didn't like it but there wasn't much for me to do.
Several years after my kids were born I made a conscious move to become thinner and healthier. I managed to lose 70 lbs and got a taste of what being normal was. It was fantastic, but I  was only able to keep it off for 2 years. My life and weight went haywire after that. Life sucked, there was no motivation to stay thin. My weight skyrocketed.

 Last year went thru some really hard times, put on more weight that I want to think about. From about September of last year, my life has been a living hell. My weight has taken over taken how I live and love, literaly. I  have had enuff. I have been expolering different ways to get my life back. I think the best way for me, since I am not a consistent(sp) person, fitness and nutrition just isn't enuff for me. I feel that sometype of wls is for me. I have since found out that Lap-Band is not made for people w/ Reflux. I am probably going with the "Gold Stanard" as dr P. puts it.
