Well hello everyone it still has been a up and down road for me, going through many changes trying to get insurance approval. I talked to my new PCP about what i wanted to do and got my refferal to a DR. Patchings in sacramento. I went to go to the group and to see him for first consult, everything is looking good for surgery in the next couple of months as he wants me to take a thyroid panel and to see him next month for a surgery date. :) :) :) :) Really at this point i think back to what bigwill says on his cd "GODS DELAYS ARE NOT HIS DENIALS" so i push on with head up high knowing that i will soon get a date for me to gain back what weight has stoled from me since childhood. I have also been on a weight program for about a month now and have for once weighed under 350lbs since who knows lol. The livestyle change is for me to start on what i will be doing for life and owe some credit to nutrisystem as thats what seems to be working for me right now.Again i am glad to start my life with a new meaning of a healthy life style and begain to change day by day. After this process takes its form I owe lots of thanks to lots of people because this is a process that takes time, courage and dedication not only by you but others.

Hello everyone i have been going through a lot this past month as the process for me has gotten longer, my last insuarnce went through a change as the place i work for change their insurance carriers for everyone, which lead me to a halt 2 weeks before i had gotton my surgey date. i had my EGD done on Dec 14th which everything went great and that was the last thing i needed done before my date , but like i had mentioned a change lead me to still go through a smaller process which i had to go to see my new doctor to get a referal for a new surgeon as my one that i was going through is no longer covered through my new insuarnce.I had called my insurance to see if i could get a transition of care but they declined me saying that i would have to go through a sutter doctor which they did cover. Today i have gotton a new referal for a DR. Waldrep in Roseville , Calif. I have heard of this doctor already as i did my research i have ran across people that has surgery done was by him and they say he is great. So again i am in the process to get a surgery date. Before my EGD i had gotton my weight down to 355 expecting my surgery to come short after but when i heard my insurance was going to change my weight came back to me, yes another stress crash . The roler coaster of weight againtakes control of my body that i so wish would come to a end. My body feels like the longer i weight for the surgery the more weight i carry on my shoulders to take control of my life and being heavy most of my life. The change in insurance has lead me to beleive that the change in doctors is a blessing from above as Dr. Waldrep is a great doctor from what i have been hearing and in my heart of hearts i know that i will one day take my weight in control and beat it as i will no longer be burdend by my weight again

Well it has been some time since my last post so here is a brief update. this last month i have been trying to get my habbits out of the way before surgery with little succses, the problems that have plaqued me for most of my life have still overcome my willpower to beat the simple weight loss that i need. I will fight this to the end as my surgery will give me a great tool to help in the cause. I went to my doctors consult and he had told me everything looked good and i will be having it done laprascopicaly if everything went well in surgery, also the ultra sound went good but have not found out the results as they told me my doctor would let me know the results. I will be going to get my final egd in about 2 weeks from now and then they will give me a surg date after approval. Also i have been talking to many great people on this site that have been giving me the motivation that i need as well as great tips for my future"thanks everyone" to this date i have been really wondering why it seems like my body is stock pilling food for the fact as it knows that i will be having surgery as i have been eating alot as of late but in the back of my mind i know i will beat it in the long run and make me a healthy person for once in my life and stay that way, as i am only doing this once so i will make it right the first time.
