Ok So here is my story. For at least the last 5 years I have been wanting to do something serious about my weight. I had approached my doctor about possibly having biatric surgery done. She wanted me to really try all other options first and said I wouldn't be approved because i am not diabetic or have other medical problems. So i beleived her and Continued to diet. I went to weight watchers, curves, the gi diet. Everything! and honestly did not loose a pound. So i started looking into the different procedures myself. And was considering the Lap Band for the past year or so. Well my BFF found this site and learned about the DS she sent in her appication I think back in February and was approved and had her first Consult in May. So with her help in filling the application back to the Doc I went. My doctor did support the idea of me having biatric surgery. What she wasn't sure of was the DS being the right one for me or signing the forms saying it was. So I harrassed her every now and then really not sure about the procedure myself. But in the mean time my gf had gone for surgery in August. After watching her live through the procedure and the changes she had to make I thought "Ya know what maybe this is the right thing for me to do".... She is down 61 lbs!!! Since her surgery. I know that honestly I can not loose this weight without help from surgery. If I truely want to be healthy this is what I have to do. So back to harrassing my doctor I go. She finally gives me the forms signed!!! mid september and I sent them in right away!!! A month later I get a call from Dr. L office that they've received my approval letter and want to set an appointment for my consult. OMG!!! I can't beleive this is going to happen!!! My Consult date is Nov 10!!!
