My journey to have weight loss surgery began two years ago. To make a long story short, the doctor's office I used was not highly recommended. According to the OH website, he had great reviews and when I went to the seminar I liked what I heard but my experience with his office was horrible. It's was often difficult to speak to someone in his office. You always had to email them or leave a message. It would take 2, sometimes 3 days or more to get a return phone call or email from them. Needless to say, I became very frustrated and gave up

Back in November when I went to see my PCP for an annual checkup she told me about another program and that several of her patients had had success with it. I decided to go the seminar and was skeptical because I had heard it all before. I am happy to say that I have been nothing but impressed with their professionalism, dedication and caring. I have completed all of the necessary information needed by the insurance company but j was denied because the Weight Watchers program I completed at the beginning of 2010 does not qualify for the non-medical weight program. It wasn't detailed enough. At first I was disappointed but realized that God is in control of this and that everything happens for a reason. On the up-side, I only have to do the program for three months and then I should be approved. This detour gives me a chance to start changing my eating habits and get use to the taste of the whey Protein shakes. I am remaining positive and look forward to getting approved in late April.

fingers crossed for good news... good way of thinking too... it give you time to get prepared! Keep us updated and good luck! =]

I wish you the best! The sleeve is worth waiting for!

I truly believe a positive mental attitude is almost as strong as medicine! I found myself having to reframe my thinking too when I would get frustrated with the 6 month insurance wait and hoop jumping, but the best part it is all worth it in the end!! Good luck, and welcome.
