i have done all the blood work pap's and nutri visits however the waiting list for PNMC is 2 years or more.....and i cant wait that long. being on this site i have seen the ways around this. i will go to a PCM and see if i can get a referal outside. if not i guess tricare stand here i come! i really hate being inthe middle of HMO's i think that your body your choice. but i will play the game for the moment....so...here we go...

good news and bad...well tricare prime told me that they do not refer outside for WLS so....i called the doc office i choose Dr. Glen Moore. i spoke with Tammy at the clinic she was so so nice...
and informed me on my new !st apointment. YEAH YEAH

May 16th. and then after that i will go to diet lady and then off to more aplointments.

i am a little worried about the cost.....but i am feeling good about changing my life and bettering myself for my kids and family...i know that being able to run with my kids will be a great deal. and you cant put a price on that.....
so tomar i am going to the tricare offices and changing to stand. and will get the low down on cost. and what 20% is...i was told by Tammy that i would pay about 50$ on the 250 visit and i have a cap of $1000 so hey i can pay that i mean really i would pay for everything all of it to have the chance to be great!

after i woak...up and that took a min i think it was cause my body likes to sleep, i was wheeled back to my room....still grogy but i was happy it was over....the first day i was on a drip then they took that away and i have to take med my mouth gag was gross....i walked more then anyone they had seen but i was detirmined to no be in the hospital bored so i got to know the other older people on the floor they all where their for different reasons but i talked to this one man he was funny, 

ok so 2 days tech 3 i was out and home...feeling no so bad....the first week but then the second week i was tired, but the 4h week i was in pain....thought something was wrong bugged the nurses and Dr Moores office lol, again and they said HUNI THAT IS YOUR AB WALL HEALING lol silly me 

so nov 9th i was a month out onto my new life things are going great....i am down 35lbs that first month then dec 9th 2 months out...i was 58 lbs out....so i was doing great my apointment in Jan i was 65lbs out and doing very well....Dr Moore was proud said keep up the work

then from jan 9th till now..i have lost a great amount of wieght...i met my 100LBS GOAL mar 9th....i was 5 months out.... i was scared i thought that was fast not sure...but i am younge active and have 3 kids running me ragged now that i am thinner lol...they think i am a new toy or something. 

so now april 9th i am 145lbs and only 20 away from my TOTAL GOAL of 125lbs. 

i cant say how much i love this new imporved me i am healthier then ever...and feel great......i still snack but only the good way jello and icepops...
