I had a consult with Dr. Hodge

I had my consult and everything went well.... he gave me a list of everything that needs to be done before the next consult.... he said that the insurance company wants to see atleast 6 months prior diet with my PCP. I have been seeing my PCP since 8/03 about diet and losing weight. So I have everything scheduled my last appointment is 4/20 so after that I can schedule next consult and go from there. I just wanted to say thank you, to you all who have shared your experiences here. It really helps me to make this very scary decision in my life. I have always been overweight but it has never really effected my health and quaility of life... like it is doing now. I have tried every diet and every diet pill. I have lost and gained even more back and felt like a failure for not being able to lose this weight that is causing me such misery. So now here is a tool that could possilbly work but of course comes at a price itself. But my health and quaility of life is such that I am at a point in my life where I think the trade off and risks are worth it. So thanks to all of you.... who share the good and bad of this journey, the best to all of you. God Bless!
