April 17, 2007 Today I had the Mental Health Evaluation with K.Adkins. She was great, and I think I passed with flying colors. Afterwards, I had my 2nd month appointment with the Bariatric Center. My weight stayed the same, but the choices I have been making are better ones. I lived through my Upper GI this past week.. barely. The results were normal, which is a good thing.

The insurance company just rained on my parade. It seems my insurance will require the 6 month monitored diet program, because i'm with the federal government. Seems there is a clause in our policies only. Not sure I understand the reason for that, but i'm bummed. :( So instead of May.. I guess it will be sometime in the fall. Sucks to be me right now...-lol- The office will call me tomorrow with the "official" word.. but the clause says it all.

Such a great group of Doctors and nurses at the Center. It was a little depressing to weigh in at 230 lbs. I wasn't surprised because i knew it was close. I met the criteria on weight alone... Which I guess is a good thing.. Since having medical problems on top of that wouldn't be good. My mind was instantly made up.. I want this... and I want it bad. Suprisingly, before the appointment was over... We were setting up bloodword, upper GI's, mental health evaluations, support group meetings, and visits to the gym. I was overwhelmed, but excited. Another surprise was when I was told that May 1st could be my surgery date, pending the outcome of the insurance company. By this time, I'm getting hyped and excited.. Next week I should have the decision of MD- IPA. -keeps my fingers crossed-

I have been seriously considering the bypass surgery but decided to check out the seminar on the Lap Band before making any final decisions. My daughter is a 2nd year nursing student, so I decided to take her with me.. in case i needed translation..-lol- We both were impressed with the band and i decided that this is the route i should try to go. I'm making an appointment to meet with the doctor.
