I got started on this path almost by accident. I have thought, in the past, that there must be a better way.
My brother and sister-in-law both went thru this several years ago. I always said I'd NEVER do this. Then I was in a motorcycle accident, during a course of Phentermine that was not really working. Now I couldn't even EXERCISE anymore. Here came the pounds. One month after the accident, while I could still barely walk, I had my gallbladder out. I had a seriously painful gallstone attack in August, scheduled the surgery for October, had the accident in September. Ironic?
So, when I saw the 2"x3" article in the newspaper my boss left at the office I just called the number. Next thing I know, I am in the Dr's office discussing sleep apnea. Soon after, I am in the sleep lab. Less than 1 month after making that phone call I had sent an e-mail to the surgeon my Dr. recommended. I was sent the packet of information to complete and scheduled with a video seminar/meeting with the surgeon. Now, 10 weeks after that phone call I have only 1 appointment and my records faxing to take care of and insurance will be polled.
Fingers crossed. My son is getting married in May. I have already lost 6 lbs since that first call, and by May, who knows?
