I've finally decided to dive in and take this journey head on.
I've literally just begun. I finally have insurance and plan to take advantage of it.
I did not have a doctor, so I hunted one down who was accepting new patients
and I meet him tomorrow. I'm a bit worried considering I've never been tested

for comorbidities or any other health issues, so I am going to speak with him

about testing for diabetes, possible thyroid issues, high blood pressure, etc.
Considering my BMI is already above 40, my insurance wouldn't require any

comorbidities, but it would still be nice to know...

Anyway, It would be great to have some pointers,

or to see some stories of how you guys began your journey and

the steps you took after finally making the decision.

Were you nervous? Did everything work our the way you planned?
How long was the process for you from beginning, to end?

By the way, I'm Chyla, and it's wonderful to meet you.

Well you can click the button on the bottom of the YouTube player
that says something like "watch on YouYube" and it brings up the video
on YouTube and you can click subscribe from there
And it's called LaLa Lipsie.

Thanks, on the screen shot of your video it wouldn't allow my to tap on any words just the play button.. I found that surprising, most videos let you tap on them.

A little update:
I haven't made a video update yet, but I

thought I'd stop in and let you all know a
bit about what's been going on.
So, on Tuesday I attended my 2nd class for the month
for my medically supervised weight loss. I am supposed

to attend 1 class a week, every week, for 3 months.
This would be great and all, except for the fact I have to pay
30-45$ every week in order to go. And I work during that time,
so I have to wrangle those days off somehow. So it's been a bit
stressful. I'm just doing my best and trying to get through these
next 3 months without fail.
Then hopefully I can send in my paperwork for approval from insurance.

I'm just trying to think of the end result when one of those hoops we have to jump through causes stress.. The end results are gonna be worth every stressor we deal with right!?

I completely agree... I just feel like I'm going insane right now.

I've just got to put a foot down and stay strong.

We've made it this far in life right? So as Dory from Finding Nemo says "Just Keep Swimming " ????????????????????????????

Thanks for video update ???? I noticed when I went to my seminar, that it was all the same info as well. So it sounds like any other class type stuff will be the same!!! I guess it's nice to have it be reinforced in my mind... I sure hope the journey for us both continues smoothly ???????? have a good one ????

I'm just beginning as well, but my Doc can't see me until February 6th ???? I wish you all the best and good luck tomorrow ✌️ I'm Jaysen by the way...

@@Salonboi how did your appointment go? I have had Bronchitis so I haven't posted much. I have my next appointment March 5 with the NUT. Still trying to get all the documentation required in before then. Please update me on your status!! If you prefer private message me - Lynne.
