A few days ago, my father's company's insurance changed. Upon looking through the files of what is covered and what isn't it turns out that weight loss surgery is covered. I'm a 20 year old college student and I'm grossly overweight. We've discussed the surgical option a few times, and it had never been an actual option, because it was so expensive. But now, it's an option. I've been doing nothing but researching the options for the past few days. I went to the seminar, and I think I'm going to do it, I scheduled my consultation with the surgeon , it's on Tuesday, I'm really excited. It's the first step on the road to my new life.

The waiting game is awful!

I agree, doctor thinks August, but I was hospitalized for med changes so a little bit nervous, but staying positive, and I think I've got that situation demolished when I talked to my life style counselling person today. So hoping August is the date, but if I have to wait tell December what a great birthday and Christmas gift I would be giving myself.

Definitely. It is well worth the wait. I was hung up for nearly a year. It was both a blessing and a curse.

The wait gave me time to consider everything and cope with the changes that were taking place.
