I started looking into to wsl in 09. The surgeon i wanted at the time was only covered by 50% by my insurance. He was out of network by 16 miles and they would not budge. The place they would cover i refused to go to because they did not have a good track record and were not a coe hospital.
We ended up moving because of my husbands job, so along came new insurance. Went to yet another seminar for a new surgeon and i felt like he was just pushing cattle through a chute. That was fall of 2010.
2012 my husbands employer dropped wls from the policy but added it back this year so i jumped on it. Ended up deciding on a Dr in Bismarck Nd and loved his vibe and personality. I worked in a hospital for 12 years and you can start to know a Dr by his
demeanor.
I live up by the Canadian border so no matter where i go i have to drive for hours. I'm thankful he is almost four hours away, most of my specialists are 5 to 6.5 hours away.
I've failed in dieting most of my life. Never had a weight prob growing up, it started after i had my two daughters. I could loose 40 and gain back 60. But the last two years due to some illnesses i can't loose weight, i can gain it but its hell losing five pounds. Sorry for the rant i got carried away. I'm just so darn happy and keep pinching myself to make sure its really happening. Come on April 11!
