My WLS journey is about to begin

Hello All,
I saw my PCP this past Wednesday and in addition to discussing all the complications from the hysterectomy, we did discuss me having WLS and I have his full support

I'll be giving Dr. Kowalski a call next week to set up my appointment to begin my journey.

It really helps to have the support of your PCP and other doctors you see regularly. I know my PCP and my ob-gyn were both in full support of my having the surgery, as well as the cardiologist I had to see, my allergist and the psych. For each of them there was no doubt that this was the best thing I could do for myself.

Wish you all the best on your journey - its a roller-coaster ride, so hang on!!

Hi Kathy,
Thanks. I know this will be a great jouney. My hubby had WLS Jan of 2006 so I've been through this with him. He's currently geting ready to have some plastics done.

Hi Ida!

I am excited for you.  I started my journey in April and today I got my insurance approval! 
Sometimes the process seems like it is going slow......other times it flies by.  Pretty soon you will be where I'm at and wishing a newbie good luck!

Hi Diane,
Nice to meet you. My hubby had his WLS in 2006, so I'm looking forward to my own journey. I'm not in any hurry as I'm going to be dealing with this blood clot for quite a while, from what my PCP has told me he's planning on cumadin therapy for at least 9 months so I'll begin my WLS process in a few weeks and see where we end up as far as an ETA for the actual surgery.

You rock it girl!  I'm so impressed by your support of your husband and now his support of you and everything else you have been going through with such an amazing attitude.

Keep up the great work!

Pam
