Excited and possibly a little obsessed!
Oct 30, 2013
I have been considering WLS for several years. My insurance never covered it so I never really persued it. Then I find out my insurance now covers it. WOAH. New ball game. I'm so excited to think about the possibility of actually doing this. I have one friend and one acquaintance that have had this surgery done. I searched YOUTUBE for Gastric Sleeve and wow was I surprised to see all the video blogs. I am really researching all the ups and downs of having this surgery. I am obsessed with hearing every one elses stories. It gives me so much hope and encouragement. I am starting this blog today to keep track of how this process goes. Today I weighed and I'm 263. My all time highest weight was 283. Summer of 2012 I was down to 248. Such a frustrating rollercoaster. My appointment to visit my primary care is set up for next Wednesday. I'm hoping he will be supportive and refer me for this surgery. If he doesn't I will be very upset. I have made an appt to attend a seminar with the surgeon I believe I will end up choosing. I have all my paperwork filled out and I'm ready to get the momentum moving on this journey!
