Baby Steps...

Dec 01, 2014

This is my first time ever attempting a blog and really the first time I've spoke about my weight. I am filled with fear but I know that it's time to stop running from my weight problem and face it head on.

Yesterday 12/01/2014 I had my first appointment with Dr. Sidney Rohrscheib to discuss if I would be a good canidate for the lap band surgery. My current BMI is 40.1, I weight 237 lbs and I am currently suffering from high blood pressure that cause unbelievable painful migraines!! This is the largest I have ever been and I don't quite know how it happened. I think it started with breaking my ankle a couple years ago and from there my weight just got out of control. Don't get me wrong I have always been a victim of being over weight with minimal success at dieting, but nothign like I am now.

I met all the insurance guidelines so I made my follow up appointment ( psychology exam, meeting with the dietician and the physical exam) for tomorrow 12/03/2014 and notified the insurance company so I wouldn't get any suprrise bills for failing to follow up with them.  I'm excited and scared all rolled into one but I guess thats how I should feel. Hoping for the best!

I'll try to keep up on my blog and hopefully I'll connect with a few individuals for support!
