Took my grandmother to the hospital because I thought she was having an asthma attack and after some xrays she actually has cancer that has spread to almost all her organs....Wow how life changes from one moment to another.

This will also mean thatr I will have to post-pone the medical evaluation because the $599 will not be available because if something happens to Granny then I will need this money...Ill be on the back burner yet again....SELFISH  yeah but cant help but be disapointed too....Oh Well

Cant question GOD!
Good night

I have to admit that my mood has improved since I went to the seminar on Tuesday. Life seems a little brighter now that I know I am really going to have the WLS........I am coming on this web page everyday to get the energy of the happiness and even the struggles I want to me as mentally prepared for each step as I possibly can be.  Thanks for all the kind and encouraging word all the time....

Today I went to my regular Dr to check on other things and get her final answer on whether or not she is going to support me getting the bypass and she is all in! I ca lled Karen Duty back at Beaumont and scheduled the medical evaluation for August 5th, 09 and also schedule for my Psch Eval for the July 29, 09 and the BALL is now rolling and expect to have surgery at the end of this year or Jan 09 because I have to complete the 6month weight loss documentation.....
I can hardly grasp that I finally started the process after thinking about it for the last 5 years.....
Wish me luck!

Ok, Today is the first day in a long time that I feel like a change is actually going to happen. I finally went to the seminar at Beaumont Royal Oak and now have all the information I need to get going once and for all. I know what I need to do and also have an appt with my regular Dr. this Thursday and will ask her for my "global" referal then. I have to admit I was taken a-back a little bit with the $599 fee....I almost fainted!....BUT I was reassured my by BF that he will assist me and to go ahead a call tomorrow and schedule the medical evaluation. I am sooo excited and almost at a loss for words....Almost, but not..LOL....
Finally, Finally Finally.....
I know there is a huge possibility of "bumps" in the road with the insurance but I will deal........
This website has been soo helpful.....

I just got wind that BCN now accepts William Beaumont Royal Oak as a Cengter of Excellance for surgery which is my favorite hospital. SO I had an appointment at Henry Ford for tomorrow butI canceld it becuase William Beaumont also has a class tomorrow for consultaion.
I am excited about this hospital being involved and excited because I feel like I am really starting to get the ball rolling.. This may really happen and all the talking is over and the doing begins.. No matter what a change has to be made and quick.

Today I will start blogging and in doing so I hope this is the time I finally commit to trying to get approval for surgey. I (for the first time) called Henry Ford Hospital and set up an appointment to go to the WLS seminar. I have also made an appointment with my DR. so that I can beg them to give me the referrel to have the surgery. I have been on this web page since 2006, looking, reading asking a few questions here and there. I also received the BCN paperwork that explains the requirements for approval and now my weight falls into the part that does not require 6 month documentation of supervised weight loss programs. Something tells me there is a trick to it...time will tell.
I am tired of being big, I am tired of being sore all the time, I am tired of my feet and knees hurting and deathly afraid of getting Diabetes 2 I have a family history of it and with the weight mostly in my stomach I am sure this is coming.
I have given selfishly of myself for almost 9yrs and in the mean time I have let my self go ! This is going to be my time to get healthy and revitalized.
I sick and tired of being sick and tired!
