My.... how things have changed....

OK, it's been a minute since I updated on my progress/process. Not sure where I left off but I did get authorization from Aetna to see Dr. Pinnar for 1 visit. I felt like a mission was accomplished, so I decided to take on another mission. I went back online to see if I could find a Dr. closer to me and low and behold I did! Dr. Brian Long! And he was hosting a seminar that coming (last) Saturday! I went online and registered and I went to the seminar last Saturday! ! I was really comfortable wi

One (1) Visit

OMG! Could it be!?!? Aetna approved me for (1) visit to Dr. Pinnar!! I go to my seminar on the 23rd and then I can use my (1) appointment as a consult! I am excited that I have gotten this far. When I go for my consult I will have all of my medical records from the weight loss programs I have tried, and my current chart from my PCP. Hopefully, I will have my sleep apena results back and can just take it from there. I know (1) visit is nothing compared to what I will need to have a success story

All I can think about is talking to my PCP on Monday to find out about my out of network pre-cert that she has to give me to see my doctor (Robert Pinnar in Reston, VA). I am so tired of the struggle! I have done every diet that you can think of, every weight loss plan that you can join, and even had a botched liposuction, only to end up STILL needing something that fits into my life and works for me!!! I am assuming that o

Ooops

I posted my blog entry for today in the "comments" section. :thumbup:. I'm still learning the ins and outs of this whole blog thing, so bare with me.... :biggrin:

To Be or Not To Be...

I have been toying with the idea of LapBand surgery for about a year. My favorite cousin and I were on the phone comparing our symptoms from being overweight, I'm 5'9", 243 lbs, BMI 35.5l (heel spurs being my only real complaint :thumbup:) and she said she was going to get banded. Not two months after I spoke to her, she had her appointment and was going in. She had her surgery successfully and I was still hemming and hawwing about me losing it on my own...blah..blah..blah. (gained 15 lbs) Well
