NERVOUS
on July 23, 2008 12:21 am

So yesterday, I went to see Dr. O'bryan  for the psych. evaluation which went very well, but I was sweating bullets. The computerized test told the truth and there was no way I could deny the results.  I was so shocked while he reading the results it basically stated how I  looked at my relationships with others and myself . He told me everything looked okay there was no reason for him to not recommend me for the lap band. I'm so excited.

The first big CALL
on July 18, 2008 7:36 pm
I recieved the first important call that I have been waiting for two whole long days from the psych. doctor's office letting me know he was ready to see me now. So, I have an appointment with him on Monday. I'm a little nervous about what he is going to tell me( If I'm crazy or not. ) I know the answer already but don't mean i want doin't anybody else telling me that i'm off my ritcher

OMG!!!!

 Ok yesterday I decided to fill out my pysch. evaluation packet at the metabolic center and I knew about the first 300 and something questions but I wasn't prepared for the extra 400 questions that went along with it so it took me about two hours and forty-five minutes to fill out all the information so Dr. Obryan's office can make an appointment to see me. I forgot to add that I got to the surgery center around 3:30pm they closed up on me at 5:00 so I had to return again today. I can't wait to get this evaluation over with. I'm sure they are going to require another sleep study which I've already had recently so I'm going to try to fight. I hate sleep studies.

I received a call from Tina Dr. Spaw's Insurance Specialist, who called to check on me to see how things are going with start process.(to see how far i've gotten with pysch consult, doctor's letter, schedule weight loss progam, etc....) I told her that she should already gotten a approval letter from my doctor and I need to do my pysh consut and weight loss program. She also inform me to schedule myself for the weight loss program because at first she said they would take care of all the arrangement for the program. So, now i need to call Sandy Moody the weight loss care coordinator.

My Story

I'm a student at a local community college  and plus I work full-time night shift. I am a twenty-four year old  female and who has been overweight most of my childhood life.. I started gain weight at the age of  ten years olds and  been having trouble getting it off every since.  I've tried Alli, Atkins diet, south beach, six week body makeover, dietician plan and etc... The results have been the same  I would lost ten pounds here and there, but nothing major. Two years ago my doctor asked me have I ever thought about weight loss surgery. I told her yes , but I didn't want that because I wanted to do it on my own. Shortly after that I started doing research on the possible weight lost surgery and the requirements. After reading some of the success story I was sold. I know if I don't do something my health problems are going to become even bigger problems.
