About this blog

Finally...for me!

Entries in this blog

So...I have to say I am sadly disappointed with my first appointment! The first thing that bugged me was the insurance deal....my insurance covers 100% of bariatric surgery!! Sounds wonderful right? Well this clinic stated I had to have TWO doctors assigned to me...one was IN NETWORK and the other, conveniently, OUT OF NETWORK. What is THAT? I bantered a bit, making it clear how shady this seems, but they kept the conversation moving. I felt unheard and dismissed. Second, I was told I am a bet
I'm super excited and nervous and happy and scared...all at once! I have started telling family members and a few close friends about my decision...I really thought I would get push back, especially from family, but (almost) everyone is super happy for me and thinks this is the right thing to do! I don't know what the appointment will be like. I do know I have never been excited about a doctor appointment in my life.
I'm not going to get all fancy with this entry...or any of them. I am not fancy. I am fat. Not that fat can't be fancy...I digress... I went to the seminar and turned in my insurance info to get my first appointment. I have to wait 6 months for my insurance, but that will fly by. I think it's better for me this way. I can take the time to wrap my head around the lifestyle changes I will have to make. I am already feeling better about my future! I have dug out clothes I haven't worn in years!
