1st consult

May 24, 2009

Went this past Thursday May 21st. Dr C's crew were great. Unfortunately the whole process took 3 hours! They had reps visiting -holding up staff. I tried to do this consult as an "extended" lunch break since they told me it would only take 1.5 hr.  Thank goodness my bosses are cool! Other than the delay I felt the consult went great. 

Dr feels a band is the best fit for me. Loved Elaine the dietitian...have to do 6mos supervised diet to satisfy my insurance and get approval.  I am worried that I'll lose to much weight then may fall below the BMI minimum required.  I know how to lose weight - short term... it's the keeping it off and back sliding that always get me.... that's why I need this tool!!! Elaine agreed she could tell I was ready had lots of experience and knowledge ... she knows I'd do great with the band and the life changes required.  UGH... I just want to get this done and get on with it.... It's just a $ and Insurance issue- nothing I can change - so I'll deal with it...  At least I am on my way- YAY me!
