The big decision

Soooo... I have decided that I am tired of going on the way I am and I am going to have weight loss surgery. It is not something that I am taking lightly and I have prayed about it and I know it is the right decision for me. I am pretty nervous about it.

So the good news my insurance will pay for it 100%! How great is that? The only down side is the waiting. Although they will pay for all of, I have to go a on a medically supervised diet and exercise plan for 6 months. I don't have to lose any weight interestingly enough, I just have to go to a dietician/dr once a month for 6 months and discuss diet and exercise and weigh in. Oh and it has to be well documented.

I am getting something called a Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, which actually isn't very common. Gastric Bypass and the Lap Band are done more frequently.

I am working on finding a surgeon, a confusing process as there are so many here. However my list is more narrow because I am not going to someone who doesn't do this very often, and several doctors on my list don't even do it. Anyway, I am excited about the outcome. I have to be patient and wait until September, but that is ok.

I will be adding more info about my journey.

Oh did I mention that I heart my new job.
