6 Month supervised program started today.
Jul 13, 2006
7-13-06 -Went today to my Dr.s office to start my 6-month supervised program. I told her that I will be going to Weight Watchers Monday and will start their program and will back to her next month. I hope I can lose some weight while waiting and I really don't know what the insurance will expect me to do . I have to look that this is God's timing and not mine. He knows all and I have trusted him all my life and was not going to stop now.
I'm Denied :(
Jul 10, 2006
7-10-06 -Well today I didn't get good news. My insurance denied me and said I have to go on a 6-month supervised diet. They listed alot of the ones I had already tried but it had to be more recent. I also have to weigh-in at my Dr.s office each month. So I am very disappointed and very frustration that I have to pay a go to one of these places.So I immediately made a appointment with my Dr.
Support Meeting
Jun 22, 2006
6-22-06 -Tonight I went to the support meeting. I want to go as often as I can so my mind will stay focused on my journey and know what I need to do. I think alot of this process is keeping your mind on your goal and realizing this is going to be a life changing event. I have to be honest sometimes it's scary for me. You always wonder if you can do this and will you have the same struggles like before. I read that you do but if you stay with your guidelines on eating you will do good. But is not that with every program that we've tried? I know its not a easy journey but I have to trust my in my faith that God will help me on this journey .

6-20-06 - Susan our nurse coordinator finally called to tell me my papers were sent in and that it could take 30 days for a answer. Lord I hope not when you finally make a decision to have this surgery you want it right then but it don't work that way. She told me my surgery date is set for Aug.21 . Boy I hope I hear some good news soon.

Nutritionist Visit

3-29-06 - Today I went to the nutritionist and it went very well. We discussed food changes and good choices I will need to make for me to be successfully.Sounds like a familiar plan but this time I will have a little pouch to help me.
I met Dr. Fuzz
Mar 23, 2006
3-24-06 -Well today I met my surgeon for the first time I had seen him at meetings but had not talked to him. He is a cutie and is the age of my son 37. He was highly recommended and has performed hundreds of surgeries already. He has a great support system and attends most of the meetings.He went over everything and checked me over and said I would be a good candidate for this surgery.I also found out he lived in my neighborhood and I told him if I had problems I would just come to his door. Just kidding though. I feel real safe with him and know I have made the right choice.
