1st Appt

Well I visited Dr. Dietrick and the nutritionist on Thursday he informed me that I would be a great candidate for the lapband. After speaking with the nutritionist I now have a better understanding of how my life will change. I have to say most of my fears have been settled.

Next steps:

1. Chest Xray and EKG

2. Blood Labs

3. Psych exam

4. Collect medical records

5. Submit authorization request to UHC and then cross my fingers they approve.

I'm excited!
