Well friends, my story is a short one. I have been researching weight loss surgery for a couple of years now. My company has very generous health insurance benefits and covers all three types of surgery. I originally wanted to have the lap band but because of my job, it's not a reasonable option.
I travel 4 days a week for my job as a Registered Nurse Software Consultant for a major healthcare software vendor. I have customers all over the country so I live in a hotel 4 days a week, every week. 50 weeks a year, as a matter of fact! Believe me, it's not as glamorous as it seems. Eating in restaurants for every meal in sleeping in hotel beds, schlepping laptop bags and luggage through snow, wind, rain, heat. No joke!!
Anyway, I find comfort in these pages and I am very pleased to read of all the successes everyone is having and I hope to soon join your ranks.
I have had an EGD which is required by my physician. I have also had a psych consult. Next up, the nutritional consult. I have already had my 6 months of medically supervised weight loss and I lost a whopping 3 pounds!!! LOL! At least, I didn't gain any.
Good luck and God's speed everyone. I am praying for our success and good health!
Carole
