So slow I feel like I'm in reverse!
I attended the mandatory informational meeting last Monday -- took my Mom because she is the one who is the most oppositional to this whole thing.
Lots of developments....1) I was relieved to learn that my surgeon's practice is a center of excellence...apparently that is a big deal. 2) Mom ended up promising her support and declaring that she wanted only the best for me and my health! Yeah!!! :confused: 3) Actually found myself debating between being banded and having the bypass....I was so positive before that I wanted the band...now I'm waffling. :confused2: 4) Was reassured that everything the doctor talked about, I already knew from visiting this site!! :crying: 5) Have been officially declared a "candidate" by the surgeon:blush:
Now the frustrating part....my insurance makes me complete SIX months of a physician supervised diet! And....drum roll....my first appointment with my surgeon is October 29!! :w00t: That was his first available!! So not only do I have to wait two and a half months to see him, I have to do six months of dieting after that before I even GET to the band. :laugh:
I feel like I've tried and tried and tried to get the weight off and been unsuccessful and now I'm at an all-time high for weight. I've faced the reality of the health concerns and researched and made a major commitment to this and I can't move forward...like I'm circling above the airport but I can't land.
Ugh!
