i have to go for a psych eval mid november. what is the next step after that and what do you have to do to get approved by medicare. I am excited about this i wish i could hurry things along. I have seen my surgeon twice. and I called him he said he would do the surgery. and scheduled then his nurse cancelled and said I had to have a psych eval first. It wouldnt be so bad if I knew or not The waiting is emotional upsetting.

INTRODUCTION
I have been trying to get this surgery done for about a year. I checked into 5 or 6 years ago but didnt follow through. I seen dr. O about a year ago and he was afraid I couldnt walk enough to keep from getting a blood clot so he wouldnt do surgery until I had my back fixed so I had to do that first. I dont think anything could hurt as bad as that surgery did. I have a premature detiorating spine. I had to have it fused in two places. one where it was broke as a child and another where it deterioated because of the first injury not healing correctly. I never knew nor did my parents that I had ever broke it. I have 6 brothers, and I was always upset as a child. Boys can be so mean. anyway. I had that fixed in april and it was one of the best things I ever done. It doestn hurt like it used to all the time. It is still sore sometimes and that is okay because I can walk without pain. And I dont ever remember being able to do that. So now I want more than ever to get this weight off.

That is my orginal introduction off of my old profile. Now I will try to update you a little. I am doing great I had surgery on February 28, 2006 and have lost 85 pds. I am doing well. I can walk up to three miles a day and am doing exercise dvds. It is not easy by no means but I am losing. I still have to watch what I eat. Good luck to anyone that is on this journey. And Yes, I would do it again in a heartbeat. It has given me more freedom.
