Where do I go from here?

Nov 07, 2013

Well I crashed the WLS seminar for NC Baptist Hospital on Tuesday night.  The time was well spent.  There haven't been very many changes since I was going through this process 4 years ago, but it was good to meet another of the surgeons at Baptist.  I did get some sad news in that BCBS-NC had covered the surgery with out any extra conditions up until September of this year.  Now they require a 6 month Dr. supervised diet.  Bahhhh!  That is really fine though.  I can use that time to feel sure about which procedure I want done, get some of this weight off before surgery and begin working out so that it won't be so hard on the other side of surgery.  

Today I have an appointment with my primary care Dr.  I am a little apprehensive about it.  He is an integrative health Dr. and I am not sure where he is going to come down on the WLS.  i hope that all will go well and he will agree to help me through this next 6 months and on the other side of surgery, but I have a back up plan if needed.  We will see.  

If anyone out there is reading this and prays, please pray for me.  I am afraid of what that scale will say.
