Seminar, Consult, Dietician
I got to kill 3 birds with one stone, When i went to the seminar wednesday i also got to do my first visit with the surgeon and my first visit with the dietician to get started on my 6 month diet. She started me on some weight loss pills. The surgeon said it didn't matter if i lost any weight as long as i went to the dietician and got weighed and talked with her once a month, I'm still going to try to loose some weight before surgery because i'm sure that would be better for me and a good start. The surgeon told me I"m suppose to weigh 105 with my height, but gave me a more realistic goal, and said after surgery to aim for 225, which would be a loss of 60% of my excess weight over teh 105. I also found out that the insurance won't cover the entire thing, we have to pay 4200 out of pocket, for the surgeon and surgeion assistant, everything else is covered. But i'm sure by the 6 monthes we'll hopefully be able to save enough. I"m really excited to get started on this journey. And i'm glad my family all seems to be on board with me having the surgery, and everyone is very supportive, especially my hubby. My mom is the only one that seems a bit iffy about it and keeps asking questions...
