Just had my consultation today. Went great!! I have 2 more months of supervised diet and the surgeon does not see any reason for BCBS of Iowa to deny. He says they are really good about approving it if you have everything finished and meet all requirements and send it all in together.
I got for sleep study May 10, psych eval May 7, and doc is scheduling my endoscope and ecko. Then it is just finishing the supervised diet.
I am excited and now scared again. I know this is normal. Just seems like it is so real now.....almost within reach. Still can't believe I went this far but I am totally committed to change. For the last 2 weeks I have eaten very healthy. I took my menu of what I have eaten to the nutritionst with me today and she was very impressed. I am getting eveything I need in my daily diet and I am eating all the right food.....I am having a hard time with the AMOUNT I am eating. I guess that confirmed for me that the lap band is the right choice. I can't wait!!!!
