Lap Band (Written 9-17-2011)

So, I decided I need to a little help in dropping this now extra 120 lb. I went for a Nutrition, Psych and Lap Band (Realize) consult. I thought it would go faster, but apparently my insurance sucks. They want me to prove I have been to the Dr 7 times in the past 2 years (consecutive months) where my weight was recorded and discussed weight. So, I hurt my back in May and went to Occupational Health (I got hurt on the job)-we descussed it but those people get weird about providing you with help. I am pretty sure I saw my Primary in June and we always talk about weight (he has known me since I was 6). Then in July I went to a Neurosurgeon, again, weighed, discussed how to improve my pain---exercise, lose weight---DUH! August...I think I went to my Primary, I have an apt with him on Monday to hash out the details of this. I am hoping he will be able to assist me in getting all the paperwork in place. Then, September is covered, because I went to the Bariatric Dr. Then I just need Oct, Nov, Dec and then maybe I can have the surgery in Dec or January. I am really excited...and scared! But, I am using this time to try and wrap my brain around eating better. Smaller portions, healthier food, not drinking fluids while I eat and eating more protein...I hope they approve it! I need help!
