Well I had my much anticipated consult with the surgeon today and I must say that I was all worked up over nothing! It was great and I am very excited. I have an appointment with the nutrisionist set for next Thursday and an appt with the psychologist the following Thursday....I feel like the process is going to happen quickly....we'll see!!! I know a lot will depend on when I can PAY my nut and pschologist since insurance doesn't cover it! But I don't believe God has brought me this far to leave me! I AM ON MY WAY ! oh yeah....I was leaning towards the lap band but in speaking with Dr. Richi today, he wants me to think about the gastric bypass....we shall see....any thoughts out there???? 

I have my consultation scheduled with Dr. Richi on October 22....I was very excited when I found out that my insurance would actually cover the surgery "if medically necessary" - side bar....correct me if I'm wrong, but WHO would go through such a life changing drastic episode just because????? I was like OF COURSE its medically necessary....and the reason I was so excited was because the general coverage actually said "not generally covered" so I basically gave up and didn't even push it any further.....I have BCBS, but it depends on what your employer is willing to cover... anyhoo...so needless to say, I am very excited....and scared at the same time....let me tell y'all something....I really wasn't one to go to the doctor because there was nothing wrong with me....just FAT.....the doctor I've seen the most in my life is my GYN and thats because I've had 3 children.....so needless to say, I'm working backwards because now I have to go back to a PCP and let them know whats up.....so y'all pray for me....I keep impeccable notes and food journals so there is definitely a paper trail of history with me trying my best to lose weight for YEARS....anyway, I'm not worried about it....this is God's will....I know it
