My starting journey....

In the middle of March, I requested to see my PCM. We were going to discuss the Lapband procedure and see if I was a candidate. The best new I got from him, was that I am and he is one board. He did everything he could to get me to the closest surgeon he could, but I can say that it helped that I did my homework. I have read so much and am so excited. After a few Tricare snafus, I finally got my referral to an obesity surgeon in Miami (I am in Key West) and made all the arrangements and appointments. I am seeing Dr. Anthony Gonzalez in Miami. He is a fantastic surgeon and his office staff is very helpful. They allowed me to go to a psych eval here and I did the nutritionist, seminar and first consult March 22 and 23rd. It was a nice little getaway as I went to Miami and stayed by myself while my DH stayed here with the boys. Insurance took a little longer, but alas...I HAVE BEEN APPROVED. I have to get preop tests done here in Key West, but I am scheduled for surgery on April 29th. I look forward to the end of my overweight journey and the beginning of my healthy one!
