I have scientific proof that that's impossible for me. I have fairly intense insulin needs and with that I can't loss, its medically recorded in over 100 different medical journals. >_< nerding out. Well the hope here is that it comes and goes well. Hopefully it will for you also. I have not gotten that questionnaire >_< but I have been working with a the weight management program since April so they might have used that one?

Hoping to maybe find more local sources and stories.

Thanks Beaker27. I went to an orientation ( program requires two) last week. I have watched probably 50 different actual surgeries between looking at the sleeve and bypass. With as much weight as I'd need to loss and with the diabetes ( weight and genetics based) I am hoping that Dr. Legha will say yes. A notebook is a good idea! I was thinking of blogging maybe since I am on computers constantly. I am so very anxious to just start this journey all the way. Insurance won't even talk to be until they talk with the coordinator but it is covered at least partially by my insurance!

I go to my first consult with the surgeon next Tuesday. I'm nervous that even with my comorbidies he'll say no. I've struggle with between 65-100 lbs of extra weight since 2006. Lost most gained it back lost it again. In 2013 I went on an insulin pump because medication just wasn't helping and have been struggling since then to even loss 15 lbs. I just want to be healthy and was recommended by the np that I see for weight management and my endocrinologist both. Thirty is looming and my five year old deserves to have a mom that can keep up with her and not be exhausted 24/7. 5'7'' HW: 255. CW : 240. GW:145-160. Any suggestions for questions and advice for this first appoitnemnt?

How is everything progressing? I officially started my journey by attending orientation last week. My first appointment with the surgeon and NUT will be the end of the month and December.
