FINALLY GOT THE COURAGE

Hi everyone.  i am new but not really new. I first became a member 3 or 4 years ago. I was going to let dr. vanguri be my surgeon, but i chicken out at the last minute. Because i had a friend who had the it and she the open ryn and had a bad infection and became very ill.  Long story quick. she is ok now. she lost about 150 pds and looks great. I remember when i met her at the doctors office we both weighed 263 pd. So a few years later i am weighing 320 pds. Sometimes i looked at my self with disgust that i allowed my self to get this big. But i was running to food when every something went right or wrong. I went to my yearly physical and my pcp dr told me i was a border line diabetic and i she suggest that i try to lose some weight or think about a weight loss surgery and she recommend dr singh. So i went to his presentation about a month ago call me insurance great west and almost had a heart attack about all the requirements. When i had bcbs federal at my old job i didn’t have to go through all this stuff. I have done most of the stuff but not a straight six months. The lady from great west told me every thing has to be consecutive so i was ready to cry and go to a buffet. But i didn’t. Because i know when one door closes another ones opens. So i prayed to God.  And continue to see my doctors for the two-week weigh ins. and said to my self well at least the last three months are consecutive. So two weeks ago had out open enrollment meeting and i found out our new health care provider was going to be United health Care.  And I remember that dr signh said that they have a great relationship with them. So I am really happy. I called the office and told them about me switching so now I just need to get my last five years of weigh history, my psych eval, and I am so excited. The only bad thing is I have to pay $2000 co pay, but I am taking going to use flex spending next year. So now I am just waiting to make an appointment to get my psych evaluation. I have everything else. I am just waiting for 01.01.09.

 

 

 I read about everyone’s success stories and hear the entire support yaw gives each other. I was tired of watching and I am ready jump and received some myself.  I will keep every one updated.

 

 

 

Thanks
