  1. O.k. so I have decided after years of dieting and working out with little success to go ahead and make an appt. so try and get a referral for VSG. After much research and coversations I have decided this is my best option. Its not for the fact of looking better but for my long term health. I was diagnosed with PCOS earlier this year and high cholesterol. My parents history of heart disease, stroke and diabetes is nothing I want to fool with. This has been a hard decision for me as I didn't struggle with weight until about my mid 20's. So this is the start to my journey. I am a military spouse in the Columbus, Ga area though we live just across the border in Phenix City, Al. Any help through this journey would be great. Thanks and wish me luck......prayers welcome!
  2. So I called Tricare and they said Fort Gordon MTF needs more info to approve the VSG for me like 6 months of documented attempts at: diets, meds and excercise. So the doctor can take care of meds, I have my weight watchers receipts with weigh-ins and a reciept for a gym membership. Do you think the receipt and weigh-in from WW is enough or do I need to give them my food journals as well? Also before I joined the gym (only did 3 months there) found it to be a waste of money since I worked out at home and with friends. Would my workout journal be enough? Any help would be great as I have an appt. wed. oct 26th to go over these things with my pcm.
