Baby Steps
Feb 11, 2010
I met with Dr. Trace and his staff at the recent information session that was offered. I learned alot. I am still on the fence as to what is best for me and my situation. I know that the lap band is not for me, that is for sure. I am torn between the sleeve vs the whole shabang as i have named it personally. I find my heart telling me the sleeve is whats for me, although I am concerned that insurance may not approve it. I am making this assumption based on hearsay so I cant base my determination on that just yet.Another concern with the sleeve is the ability to manipulate it. Is it wrong that I think like that? I just want to be honest with myself. With the complete bypass there are consequences to over eating and binge eating. Now saying this does not mean I have any intentions or interest in sabotaging myself. I just want to do this right. This is something I have dreamed of since I was a child. To me, it is the rest of my life. I like the thought of being able to do the sleeve and if I still need a little help I can go to DS.
Lots to think on and as always I appreciate anyone and every ones input! I am feeling great about it though! Just alot to take in. I am closer than I have ever been and loving it! Dr. Curry seems very confident and approachable along with a super friendly staff.
March 10th is the actual consult and Psych evaluation!!
Anyone with Humana?? Did they approve the sleeve?? How long did certification take??
