Stacy here at work we used to have a program to help all in better health but with budget cuts seem to go down hill
But I join the Wellness Center that help alot.

Good luck with your team./

That is one conversation he and I will never have!!  My body has settled quite nicely at 3 lbs above normal BMI....of course I 'm sure I'm carrying a few lbs of skin, so in my mind it is all good!

You will be a great inspiration to your team and maybe it will help educate some "regular" people that WLS is NOT the easy way out....it is just a "booster" shot!

Thank you...since I will have to go to Chattanooga for the actual surgery...and I'm still researching the 3 there, I'd rather find a dietitian here in Huntsville...I have a call in to the insurance to see if I need to get a referral to one or if it will be completely out of pocket for me.

No problem!  That is what I'm here for!  When I began my process, I filled out all the paperwork from Cahaba Valley Surgical and sent it in.  Back then, you could not see a surgeon until they had all that paperwork and you had completed the 6 month supervised diet, so I saw the surgeon after that time.  After I sent it in, I got a preliminary letter stating that based on what I'd provided I was a candidate for surgery--and I was in their system.  Their insurance rep, Katie, was so helpful throughout the process.  Once I finished the 6 mo supervised diet my doctor sent those records to the surgeons office and I got my appointment with Dr. Sherer.  He as wonderful--took as much time as I needed in the appointment and answered my million questions.  I thought when I started this process that I wanted a lap band--he actually helped me understand what I'd get out of that but recommended the gastric bypass.  I'm so glad I followed his advice--I've never regretted my surgery or the choice I made.

On the previous diets log, unfortunately I had a lot of history to enter!  To the best of my recollection I filled the page...maybe even added another.  No one can say I didn't try on my own!

I'm here if you need me!
