I'm on my way...

Well, I saw my PCP today to talk to her about lapband and get a recommendation for a bariatric surgeon. I was halfway expecting that she might encourage me to just diet again instead, but she was totally supportive of the lapband. I told her that I was concerned that I might not be approved by insurance and she told me that with what she has to put in the letter for me, that she would be very surprised if I was not approved. My BP was up to 155/99 today (even though she just doubled the dose of my bp med a month ago). I have never been so glad to see it high, though. Its my only comorbidity that really 'counts' as far as Aetna is concerned.

Anyway, I don't know why I'm even posting really. It just feels kind of surreal to start this journey. I am going to a seminar w/Scottsdale Bariatric Center this Sunday.
