Talked to my PCP last night

I had my physical last night. I'll have my blood and urine results next week. I already know I have high chol., hoping my blood sugar is ok. My EKG was good. Anyway, I was so nervous about talking to my PCP about WLS. Towards the end of my physical, she says hop on the scale. I figure here's my opportunity. I told her I've been researching WLS. She asked me what I thought and we discussed that a bit. She told me that while she prefers that I lose weight the conventional way, given my family history of heart disease and diabetes and my own history of yoyo dieting and my co-morbities, she will support me if that's what I want to do. We made plans for me to follow a diet (she likes Weigh****chers or the food pyramid). She wants me to follow 1600 calories a day, keep a diary of what I eat and weigh in with her once a month. She will give me anything I need that the surgeon or the insurance requires. I'm so relieved. One piece of the puzzle is in place. Sorry to ramble on.

That is great news! Good luck on the rest of your journey. Make sure you go back to her monthly without skipping any months to make sure she documents everything for you. I hope it all works out for you, LisaMarie
