It has been a long stressful haul since I started all of this last July. I had to file an appeal with my insurance company to get an initial consultation with my surgeon because my Health Management office said that my BMI was too low to warrant the evaluation. Now I have to get all of my testing done and lose 5% of my weight before they will schedule the surgery. I wonder how long all of this will take.
I'm glad that I didn't give up when I was thinking about it. Many thanks to all of you who encouraged me to keep at it even when I wanted to give up
