I started my process back in March.  My insurance required me to have a 6 months dietary supervision.  The weight of course started to come off quickly, I was told I would have to be evaluated by a psych. and have the sleep apnea test done. I tried several times to schedule these two appointments but every time they would say I had the wrong doctor or some bogus stuff! Then I got some good news, my insurance no longer required 6 months...the now require 3 months!  I had already completed 3 months. For some odd reason I was no longer interested in having the surgery.  I started thinking maybe I can do this on my own...maybe I'm fine just the way I am. Just last week something came over me, and I realize now that I can't do this on my own.  It's not just about my looks, I want to do this for my health. I don't want to wait until I'm 30 or 40 still overweight and miserable because I'm still suffering from Diabetes or High Blood pressure... or my menstrual cycle is still out of wack and preventing me from being fertile. I don't want those problems anymore, So I called the surgeons office that I had chosen and left word with my nurse to give a call back. The next day she called and explained he things I need to have done. I told her the problems I had before, so she gave me a direct number to someone I can see. I have my appointment Tuesday to have the sleep Apnea test done and in process of having my Psych. evaluation done soon.  I've come to the conclusion that I just need to stay focus on the reasons why I decided to have this surgery in the first place...MY FUTURE.  People tell me all the time "you're not that big to have something like that done" and for a while I started to feel the same way. But I'm not pursuing this for the look, I'm doing it for my health.
