I have been lurking around for about 6 weeks as I went throught the requirements for surgery. I have Federal BCBS and was approved today (it took 3 days). I have a BMI of 35 with a comorbility of diabetes. This has been a journey for me as I almost quit a couple of times but I am confident this is right for me. The psychological eval was wonderful as it detailed my strengths and weaknesses accurately. I havent told many folks but most have stated that I'm not that big and can exercise and diet and be successful. I love to exercise but often quit due to lack of results. Its gonna be nice to finally be able to lead a healthy life style without it always centering on the scale.
I must admit that I am afraid a bit but I also put my faith where it should be and I wont worry. I will concentrate and making this work and continue to live well.
