Well here I am today and June 8th, 2009 finally met with the Doctor who will be my surgeon. I was considering the Lap Band, he recommended the RNY. So right now I am in the process of trying to determine which surgery process would be best for me. So here is a little about my weight. I came back for a cruise on March 6th, 2009, saw photos of me and dropped my head. How did I get like this, I asked myself? Well, I was so disgusted that I made a huge change in my eating habits as well as I was diagnosed with Diabetes type 2, I have mildly high blood pressure and my HDL's weren't too well either. So on my own I wanted to prove to myself that I have what it takes to eat better and more like one would with WLS. I was 283 lbs in March 09, and 287 at my highest post surgery from a Hysterectomy in 07. Well yesterday June 8th, 09 I had my first Doctor appointment with the Bariatric Surgeon. It looks like for the insurance to approve it I need to do some program, of course regardless of what I've already accomplished on my own, right! Dumb..my Private Practioner could prove this weightloss too. So I could use suggestions of where I should go to complete this requirement or what I can do to provide insurance with some Records of my program. So until then I am weighing my options of Lap Band vs RNY bypass!!
