Got my referral!

I am nervous now! Waiting to hear from EMMC to see if I am eligible (by their standards) to have WLS! Cannot wait to start the Journey with EMMC!

I am swinging chickens for you!

Glad to hear! Just remember this road can be a long one and takes time. Don't give up and don't fret too much. Just keep jumping through the hoops and soon you'll be done and on your way to good health.

My dr's office referred me back beginning of May. After going back and forth EMMC finally excepting me into the program but then I had to wait 6 months just to do the Seminar and support group. I was so bummed that I had to wait. Then the week I finally get to go to the seminar the WLS coordinator called me to make sure I am coming, I of course said yes that I have been waiting forever to get in. She apologized and then told me that my insurance is now requiring a 6 month dr. supervised diet and exercise. I was not impressed. I could have been doing that 6 months ago while I was waiting. My PCP already had me do my sleep study test and my pulmonary test to try and get things done faster. I have my first appointments at the WLS clinic Dec. 1st.
