Hello Amos! I arrived home Sunday from my 20 year high school reunion. It was wonderful. I was very concerned about my weight, but I shouldn't have been. All my firends and classmates were wonderful. The years and maturity do something to people. Everyone was so supportive when I told them about my surgery plans. I find myself wanting to tell people. I guess it makes me accountable for my actions. It also let's me share my journaey with others who may be experiencing pain or denial in their lives. My wonderful finace came with me and was such a doll. He was great to everyone who wanted to find out about him and where he grew up. Six hours of meet and greet and hugging and crying and he held up!!! What a guy! Sending my love to all!!! Keep up the faith friends. Marcy

Hello AMOS! Went to my PCP yesterday and he wrote a request for the Gastric Endoscopy and Ultrsound. After those are done I can get my date!!!! Still waiting to get the final letter form my doctor about the records of medically supervised weight loss programs. Aetna requires that a member complete at least a 6 mos medically supervised weight and exercise program in order to qualify for surgery. The programs msut be a least six months long and cannpt be over two years old. I'm a little nervous because I have been given diets and programs(over and over again) but they have never been checked weekly. I hope that's not what they need. The last weekly medically suoervised program I was enrolled in was the UCLA Phen Fen program. That was a horrible mess! The drugs made me feel horrible and I didn't lose that much. Just another thing to check!!!! Going to my 20 year high school reunion tomorow!!! Love and prayers to all my AMOS family members!

Hello AMOS!!! I've been waiting to here from the insurance company. I know it's only been a week and a half, but since I got on the scale and saw the REAL numbers I have been freaked out. Perhaps it's just psychosomatic, but I feel horrible. My body and legs ache and my stomach just keeps getting bigger. Maybe my body is finally telling me...I NEED HELP...THIS IS TOO MUCH WEIGHT!!!! Anyway, I do so much love the support I've found here. It's hard for those who haven't felt the weight, shame, and denial to understand even if they love and support us. Thank G-D for therapy!!! Last week I finally "came out" to my Doctorate class mates. It was so refreshing to be able to talk and just have people listen. No judgements. That's what you get when you let you denial go and "come out" to a room of therapists! One of my classmate's wife just had the surgery. She's a member of this site and I have been tracking her progress with interest. As of now I am working on my Patience!!! Love and prayers to you all...Marcy

Today I had my first consultation with the doctor. I have decided on RNY laproscopic surgery. Now come the insurance part. I am so nervous. I think I have a good case and my PCP was the one who has been trying to get me to do this. I'm praying for an approval.BAD NEWS: I got on the scale and it was so much worse then I thought! 362....I thought I was at 300. Well, I guess denial is a great place to stay, but you can't live there for long! Here's to the beginning of a new life!!!!
