Bump in the road

[MelissaE1979 0]

Well, my surgery date of Jan 5th is no more. University of So Cal required patients covered under their BC Administered ins to complete a "Lifestyle Redesign" program before surgery. I completed the 4 month program when I was interested in GB in 2003. Because it's been longer than 12 months, I have to recomplete the classes to be eligble for coverage.

The classes are pretty much like Weight Watchers except they follow a plan called "The 5 Day Miracle Diet" (as if). Basically it's high protien low carb. Last time I lost 25 lbs and kept it off, so I know it won't HURT, it's just a bummer.

I have a lot going on right now anyway, I'm building a home to be completed in mid-late December, so I'll have my hands full of life changing events for a couple of months.

I'm not going to let the hold up bring me down too much, I know my coverage shines compared to other plans. And I was already working on losing weight before surgery, so I'm going to stay on that path as well, and give their "miracle" another go.....after pizza tonight!

Thanks for listening....this place really provides a great sense of support and commeraderie. I'm lucky to have found it!

Sorry to hear that Melissa, but good to hear that you are not giving up, just going to do what you need to do to get to the banded side with a postive attitude to boot! Keep it up!
