urghhhhhhhhhhh!!! i cant even described how royally pissed off i am at my PCM. so i got to my appointment today (had to get up at 4:30 am to take hubby to work) get to his office wait thirty minutes just for him to give me ANOTHER piece of paper. but wait it gets better.....whats on this paper you ask?!?! MY TRICARE INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS!!!! something you think he would have given me when we first met a month ago. .....what was on this paper you ask?!?!?! i ahve to lose 10 pounds as a form of commitment to the lap band. i told my stupid doc that if i lost any weight i wouldnt qualify for the rest of my requirements...but did he listen?NO!!! so now i have to lose 10 pounds in like a week so that i can go back next week and get my referral. but thats not even the worst part!!!!

were living overseas (hubbys in the airforce) and i have to be at least one year away from our DEROS date(date we go back to the states) to be eligable.we leave next may!!!!! so now i have to pray for a miracle and hope the hubby can extend our DEROS date so i can get the lap band. all this because my stupid doc couldnt give me a stupid freaking paper on my first visit!!!

I JUST WANT TO CRY!!!

Hang in there, everything happens for a reason. A year seams like a long time to wait once you have made up your mind. Hopefully the DEROS will get extended to July or August...

thanks amy. after talking to my hubby and seeing how supportive he was and how easy it would be to extend for a few months...im happy again. lol. i was pretty down that day, but "all good things come in time" not overnight. i was rushing everything. i have to be realistic about this. ive only been trying since beginning of may. june 30th i go back and get my surgeon consult. hopefully every thing will go smooth.
