Where do I start? Well I am 25 and have been on the journey to WLS for almost a year now. After trying several diets and failing at them I decided to look into surgery options. I attended a seminar where I met Dr. Mueller. He is awesome. After the seminar I was in contact with his office to see if and what my insurance would cover. They told me that I could get Lap Band or GB covered at 80% under my PPO or 100% under HMO. The only catch was that my insurance required me to go on a medically supervised diet for 6 months before they would even start the approval process. So for 6 months I was on medi-fast and went in monthly for weigh ins. I lost 67 lbs. There were a few set backs after. I was anemic so it took a while for my regular physician to clear me medically. Once that was all done I contacted Dr. Mueller's office and they sent everything in for approval. Within a week I received a call that I was approved. I am very excited.
Ever since I can remember I have been overweight. It really has an effect on the way you live your life, the things you can do, the things you want to do and so on. I am a wedding planner and I absolutely love it but the day after doing a wedding and being on my feet 10+ hours, my body gives up on my and my back hurts, my feet hurt, I can barely walk. This will really be a life changing experience for me and I can't wait.
