Post Numero Uno

Jan 06, 2010

This my first post on here.  I am 25 years old, I have two boys, and a wonderful husband of 4 years. I have been overweight all my life, always trying to lose weight, never succeeding. I guess thats why I am here today creating my profile.  I weighed in at 271.8 at my last doctors appointment.

I began thinking about having wls back in September of 2009, but I did not attend the information seminar until November. Other than attending the seminar, I recieved my doctors refferal, attended one of the required classes, and consulted with the Doctor at the Weight Managment Center. I am now waiting to have my sleep study(meet doctor on January 12th), Echocardiagram (Jan. 18th),Dieatician (jan. 20th), and next doc appt. (jan 29th). I have paid half of the 250 out of the 400 required for the program. I will need to pay the last 200 at the next doc appt. 

I was pretty bumed about my psych eval next month.  I have BCBSNC and I will have to pay my portion of the evaluation, which is 600 buckaroos.....my husband first words when I told him where "Holy SH$$!.", but then he said I was worth it and deserved to be happy.   Which was a relief to hear.

I am very nervous that I am going to spend all this money on this, and be denied by my insurance.  The up side is, the lady that deals with the insurance companies says that they are pretty easy to approve this if you meet all the requirments they list (which I do).  

I originally started off wanting the Lap Band, but I have switched over to the RNY GB. I have so much weight to lose on my small 5'3 frame.  I will post more later when I have more time. Until then.....Me and My Kai 2008
