Awaiting Insurance Approval

Jan 27, 2011

Well after much consideration and talking with my wife who recently had the surgery, I have decided to have it done also. I have been overweight for about 8 years now, my weight creeping up after my retirement from the Navy in 2003. I tried the diets, and lost very little and then of course put it right back on. I am tired of constantly pulling my pants up because my hips are lower than my belly and when you tighten for the belly, it always slips down to the hips. I,m tired of being out of breath just from walking up a flight of stairs. My bed is shot on my side from my weight, and I have skin nodules under my arms (from fat skin rubbing) that drive me crazy. So I did the seminar, Psych, Doc meeting, labs, and got the required paperwork, and its all been submitted to TRICARE Prime North. I have a tentative surgery date of 21 Feb, so I'm excited. With my wife having had it about 16 months ago, I feel confident in that she will help me through the first few phases. I will post a before pic after i have my wife take one. My doctor is the same doctor she had (Dr. Gregory Adams). On the list of Docs on this site it had him still in Alabama, but he now resides in Hampton Roads and is part of the Tidewater Surgical Specialists Group of Bon Secour. So eagerly awating the approval letter.
