Hi everyone, my name is Tammy I am 52 years old.. I am just starting this process and want to lose 145 lbs. I weight 282 now. I have always had weight issues, but never this bad. So I am ready to make a change.
First I found my Surgeon Dr michael King - Oxford, Ms.. They contacted my insurance and told me what the crieria was. They have been very helpful.
1st - Met with my pcp and he wrote me a clearance letter and sent my medical records to my surgeon.
2nd - Pulmomologist Appt. on April 19th
3rd - Cardiologist Appt. on April 25th
4th - Psycological Evaluation on May 24th
After all these doctors sent in the clearance letters, then I will get my first appt. with the surgeon. Hopefully I will be approved and be on my way to a new leaner life.
