HELP!! PCM Appointment Today (1st of Many)
Hello All,
I go to see my PCM today in hopes to get a referreal for my WLS.
Please help, if there is anything that I need to know in order to make this appointment a success please advise. I think I have stressed myself ito a migraine.
Any advice would be great at this point. My appointment is @ Luke ALB. Tricare Prime Insurance.
Should I take in documentation of my efforts for the past years of attempted, success and failed weight loss?
Everything went GREAT alot easier than I expected. I went in yesterday and explained my visit. I was a little nervous to say it out loud what I wanted. It's like once you say it is is real and now you are open to what ever comes next. **VICTORY**. I told him that I wanted to have WLS, he told me that he did not think I was not big enough to have it done. So, he asked me my height and weight I told him 5'8 270lbs. Then he told me I was definetly a candidate. Asked is I had any ailments from the weight. I adv him of migraines, knee pains, back pains and shortness of breath. He then set me up for a referrel. I was so happy about the process. I thought it would be more involved.
I told him of my efforts and that I looked into WLS 1about 10 years ago but was told by my PCM at that time that I would not qualify. So I dieted, starved myself, went to a Nutritionist for over a year. Lost a good amount of weight, but as we all know it found me again.
So, I will update more as my journey continue's keep me in your prayers for this to go through as I will all of OH.
BTW, my true height and weight is 5'7 260lbs 41BMI

Celeste,
Things really took off quickly once I saw the surgeon. Now I am scheduled for surgery this coming Tuesday. It was less than 2 months ago when I saw the surgeon for the first time. I can't believe how quickly everything has fallen in line. I have quickly discovered that in many ways I was my biggest obstacle to getting this surgery.
Stay possible, as things can happen quickly!
