I'm starting to feel a little discouraged today(315lbs)...maybe that's not the right way to describe it? I was anxious to hear my docs tell me today that they'll start writing my referrel letters and send them to my ins co today after receiving news from my liver biopsy procedure on 3/27/06 (yes, what a way to spend my bday). I have NASH, the only way I can describe it is "fatty liver." They act like I shouldn't be alarmed by it, said to just take 400mg of Vitamin E and come back in 2 months and that WLS will prevent it from getting worse. Okayyyy! I'm ALL for it...been on board since attending a lapband seminar on 1/26/05 with Lapband Texas, AIGB. So now what? Well my diabetes doc was ill today (after waiting 2hrs you'd think they would've metioned this so I could resch, yeah right)! The physician asst referred me to call a Dr Leggett for WLS consult and gave me a 4wk supply of Actos for my type 2 diabetes to add to another prescription I've taken since Oct 05. Now headed to my primary doc appt for answers on who gets the ball rolling with the ins co? All he had to say was sch a consult with a Dr Leggett and Dr Turnquest for WLS consults they will be the ones to work with the ins co. Why didn't they tell me this 2mos ago. I've had LapBand Texas in mind to do my WLS all along...Dr Collier and Dr Wilkenfeld. I will give them a call tomorrow and see if I can't get this "bowling" ball rollin before my next appts in 2months. Wish me luck! =)
