Going to be sent to insurance for Approval!
Jan 17, 2009
Finally met with my surgeon! Went very well! I am DONE with my 6month insurance required visits. I am awaiting for the Insurance Rep w/ the surgeon to submit to AETNA! I have decided to go with the LAPBAND instead of Gastric Bypass. After months of trying to decide what was best for me, I am finally comfortable with my decision. I need to lose about 100 lbs. All my tests came back normal, just some High Cholesterol! So, not too bad, I don't think... Dr said about 2 weeks or so for approval and then they can set my date. I got my "2 week liquid diet" requirement from the nutritionist... Boy, that is going to be rough. I guess in the end, it will be well worth it! My husband and I scheduled our Family vacation this year. We are taking our kids to Disney!!! I am so excited!!!!! We have never been there! I just hope that by then, I am down some weight and able to ride the rides ok and keep up with my kids! I will be back! As soon as I am approved and set, I will be boasting!

It has been a little while since my last post! I attended the cleveland clinic this week for my psych visit.. Psych said I scored "severe" on my binge eating profile... I am required to attend a binge eating seminar for the next 4 mondays. That is ok, I new I was a HUGE binge eater! Maybe this will help me... I start this Monday, and I am looking forward to it. I also saw the nutritionist this week. She wants me to lose 10 lbs this month and 10lbs next month. How will I do that? I have been trying to do that (without any success) for so many years~! I came home, hopeful that I could behave, and did well for about 3 days.. Fell off track AGAIN today! I am such a FAILURE!!! I am so sick of failing at this! It is making me sick! How can I continue to fail everyday??? Why can't I do this! I have been gaining about 2 lbs a month since I started this venture at the clinic! How Sad!!! I am adding to my weight once again! I get so depressed! I hate my clothes! I HATE MY BODY! And I am begining to wonder if I will ever feel ok!
Nearing the end of my pre-requirements and scared!

I am a 36 year old mom of four beautiful children. My oldest is 15, 13, 9 and a 6 year old son. I only have the one boy, and he is my sweetheart! My children are very actively involved in sports and are honors students. There lives seem to be going in the right direction. I wish mine was! I have been struggling with my weight for the past 15 years. I did ok in high school but when I was pregnant with my first daughter, I gained quite a bit of weight. The weight crept on for years and, now years later, I am deciding to make the plunge into weight loss surgery. I have tried every diet under the sun and then some! Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, LA Weightloss , and even saw a nutritionist at my PCP. I am nearing the end of my pre-requirements for surgery. I need to lose 110 lbs or so. Seems like so much weight to lose. I have failed so many times before and I want to succeed and quit thinking about weightloss once and for all! I have spent so much time and energy trying and failing. I NEED to get on with my life, play with my kids, run with my son, have a relationship with my husband! Everything is suffering because of my weight! I am becoming a distant person, hiding out, not wanting to go to social functions! I Hate it!!! I hope I am making the right decision! It is a Huge Change!!! God Grant me the courage to do what needs to be done and become Me once and for all!
