A New Start
Jun 13, 2010
On Saturday, I attended the wls seminar as required by my surgical program. As I have been to several of these before, I knew exactly what to expect. To me, this seminar is a means to an end......OBTAIN THE INFORMATION PACKET! Check!I came home and completed the packet in record time...30 minutes. I just wish I could have hand delivered the packet back to the office on Saturday afternoon! No such luck. Now I have to wait. More...again!
Tomorrow, I will hand deliver the information packet and begin the "two week wait" for my first surgical consult. Rachelle, bariatric nurse, mentioned at the seminar that after the packet was received, it would take approximately two weeks before the office would call to schedule a surgical consult. I will schedule my psych evaluation during the next two weeks...one more requirement to soon be completed!
My insurance has a requirement of 12 consecutive months of a medically supervised diet program. My appointment on Friday, June 18, 2010 will complete my 12 consecutive months! What a difference a year makes! So many changes in my life during the past year...some good, some ok, some not so good. BIG SIGH!
I have been down this path before....actually 3 times previously (I was honestly hoping that the 3rd time was a charm. However, in my case, the 4th time is a charm!).
I will update this blog as I move through my journey. I want to be able to look back on this blog and realize where I have come from and what I endured to realize this dream. I want live out a healthy, happy, long life. I know that without this surgery, my life will be cut short.
Have a great week! I know that I will as I begin the middle stages of my long journey to life long, healthy weight control.
