Its not a setback.. its confirmation...
on August 22, 2009 11:08 am
Well, I went to the doctor on August 20 and all in all it was a good visit.  I was disappointed when i got on the scale and was 330, which was a pound up from last month.  What a frusterating sition considering in the past two and a half weeks I dropped an entire pant size, but no weight loss.  Dr. Miles strongly suggested I opt for the gastric bypass after he asked me my reasoning for not wanting the bypass he was not satisfied that my reasons for not going with it and asked that I research the success rates of lap band patients with a BMI greater than 50. I came home and did just that and was very pleased to get all the respons'ses I did.  At first I was bummed when I left his office but through this process it has confirmed my decision to stick to the band as I have searched myself and my life style and feel in my heart that is the best fit for me. 
I was also informed that my insurance company is being very difficult and the process of getting approved could take longer than I expected.  So, from here all I can do is continue doing what I am doing and realizing that even if Im not pulling much weight off,  I am getting healthier.  I am still doing my 3 hours of zumba a week and after todays class I came home and ordered some dvd's so I can do it at home too. I could do it every single day..l I am so ADDICTED!  So from here, I will call his office on monday morning and let them know my choice is to stay with the band and we will press forward with the approval process.

Endoscopy
on August 2, 2009 7:15 pm
Well, the endoscopy went well and Dr. Miles said everything looked good or so my husband told me as I dont remember much about the day after the meds they gave me for the procedure.  Im starting to get excited but dont want to get my hopes up too much as we still havent crossed the hurdle of insurance approval.  Once that happens I will allow myself to be really excited. My next appointment is August 20, and we will go from there...
