Semi- Follow up to "he cancelled another one" and my own issues!

I take Dr. Bauman very seriously when he talks about the importance of losing weight. I had my initial consultation on November 19th and he wanted me to work on the weight and come back in two months. So at that point I had my follow up appointment scheduled for January 21st. I had a long talk with myself (yes, answered myself too) and said if I am truly ready to make a lifelong change, I must really explore my eating and make changes now. Sooo....over the last two months I got all my testing done and really worked on the eating, started exercising and since my initial consult I lost 60 pounds.... Dr. B gave me the thumbs up and said that they would be contacting my insurance for approval.

I am so excited and ready to get a date. I just have to keep the momentum going so I keep LOSING!! Reading these boards has been a great help. I visit daily and really enjoy the info and support and am glad for my OH NC board to keep me motivated. So thanks to all!!

Alice, Congrats on that fantastic journey so far! I know you must be feeling the benefits of it already. I would think your insurance company would be thrilled with your efforts, too, and hopefully you'll get a speedy approval!
