Light At the End of the Tunnel...

is fast approaching. Today I had an appointment with my nutritionist as part of my supervised diet. It went pretty smoothly. We mostly talked about how I would need to take supplements to insure that I am getting all my vitamins and nutrients after surgery. And the rest of my appointment was spent talking about my wedding and my nutritionist wedding. I like her very much. I wish it was awkward to try to contact her to be a friend. We have so much in common.

I also talked to the insurance coordinator about everything that I needed to do in the final month of my supervised diet so that I could be completely finished at my next appointment and ready to turn in my case to the insurance company as soon as possible.

  1. I need to get the last 2 years of my medical records faxed to the insurance coordinator. I should have done this last month because I switched insurances and now it might be difficult to get them from Group Health, because Group Health is terrible.
  2. Complete a Pysch, questionnaire.
  3. Have a Physch. evaluation done on the same day as my last appointment. (I'm slightly confused on this one... are they going to deny me if I'm to depressed or not depressed enough?)
  4. One last nutrition appointment, on February 26. (I feel like making a count down, out of like construction paper. With the loops that make a chain. I'm just so excited to start my new life)

Tyler had his first appointment today. I'm excited that he has started. I just have this looming fear that I won't be approved and he will be. Waahh!! That would be terrible!

 

Anywho, I'm off to bed, I'm so tired today.

 

Happy losing everyone!

LAP-BAND Patients

My first appointment/support meeting was October, 2011. Then when I was finally approved my hospital was taken over by a big Boston one. So I had to go through a lot more appointments and finally had the band July 29th. I totally understand what you are going through. Good luck., When it finally happens it's great! I know it was the best thing I have done for myself. I wish I had done it many years ago when I was younger.
