Well, I had my visit to my PCP on Monday and he was wonderful! He was very supportive of my desire to have WLS. He took the letter I had pre-written and said he would look over it and retype it. They have already sent me a copy and fax over one to Dr. S. I had my psych eval this morning at 11 with Dr. Gewerthy and he was wonderful. He was very nice and I did not have to answer the dreaded 300 question packet about if I hear voices. At the end of our talk he said I was an excellent candidate for WLS and he thinks I will take to sugery wonderfully!! Yea!!! I have my visit with Dr. S this Wednesday. And hopefully all will go well from there! Amy

Good for you!!! You will like Dr. S and his staff. All you'll need is the nut appointment before they file your insurance papers.

Hey Amy! You are well on your way now .. you'll be warming the loser's bench any time now. Hugs, Mo

Comparison is the thief of joy!

If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!

Thank you Mo! I am actually getting alittle excited! I talked to my mom about it and she told my grandma and they are both so happy for me. My grandma even started to tear up. She knows how hard it has been to loose weight. I hope my insurance is on the same wave level as I am ! Amy
