Fall brings changes

Oct 05, 2009

So I've made some decisions, finally.  Constantly considering the differences betwen the lap band and the RNY, I gave it a lot of thought and decided on going for the band.  It is just the option I feel the most comfortable with.  Telling my husband was the hardest part - as the band is not the option that our insurance will pay for.  Our insurance will pay for after care, or care for potential complications, but not the band placement.  And my DH is sooooo supportive.... I'm so lucky to have him.

Another choice made is that I will be having this done here in our home town.  So there will be no travel involved for the surgery or for the fill appointments. 

It's such a weight off my shoulders (no pun intended) to have made these decisions.

This afternoon, on my way back into town from the insurance meeting I attended for the bypass, I dropped off my paperwork at our hospitals Bariatric Center.  It was my first time going in there and the staff was very courteous.  She reviewed the paperwork and said they'd call me in a few days to schedule the first evaluation.  How cool it was to get this going!!!!
