Have to share!!

I was able to speak with a few people off here, and I have decided where I what doctors I will see. I have been to a few different semiars. I am going to Dayton Baratrics tonight (weather premitting)  I am so excitied. I talked with the insurance lady today. She says she thinks it should all go through well. She told me to go ahead and schedule with family doctor so we can get test ordered. I am so so so excitied! I was able to get in on the 3rd to see him!!  I hope all goes well. I will let you know more later tonight! As I have told many of you, my family is all thin, so they think I am stupid. My hubsand is supportive, but does not understand why I get happy when things look good, nor did he understand when things go wrong I get upset!! You all seem to understand. Sometimes just telling someone helps!!

I'm glad you have been able to decide on a surgeon.  I think all of the Dayton area surgeons are very well-qualified (although I don't know much about the two at Dayton Bariatrics)... the most important thing is that you feel comfortable with the surgeon. I, too, had people who did not understand my excitement about things progressing towards surgery, so I know how disappointing it can be to not be able to really have people share your excitement.  But, yes, WE understand! Lora

Thank you! I am sure I will know more tonight! I will share!! :-P  I know this will be a long road, I am just so excited to get it started!!

Well I went tonight! I am still very excitied! I think I can really do this!! I have heard my insurance is pretty quick to approve/disapprove!!  I thought I would share!!

That's great!  Hopefully they answered all your questions and you'll get on the road soon!

I truly understand your excitement!  With WLS, you are about to take a journey which is so wonderful, you will wonder why you waited so long.  Do not get me wrong, there will be times where you will say, "what in the heck have I done?"  But, when the dust settles, all worth it! YES, we UNDERSTAND and are here for YOU!!!!

Yes they did! I have DONE ALOT of research on my own! I have mild problems. My back aches every now and then. My knee hurts some. My BP is border line! I do however have a strong family history of disease. This is a major step for me, becaue I have not developed the problems yet. I want to prevent them. I have tried diet and exercise and it is not working! I lose, I gain!!! That has been my hubsand draw back!! He says I am over weight but healthy! He just says he dont want me to die on the table!!  I called today and I am able to pick up most of my medical records tomorrow!! So I will have them all in the next week!  I have a appointment Monday with family doc to get thing moving along!!

Congratulations!!! Which surgeon did you decide to go with?

I chose Dayton Baratrics. I only met Dr Bruce, and I like him. They say Dr. Clarey is much nicer. I am not really picky on which one i see.  I got a call today to sit up my pys evual. I missed the call, because I was playing in the snow with the kids! I will call them tomorrow! I am so excited!
