I had debated the decision to have bariatric surgery for a while now. It became eaiser after I got down to 240 and then gained all but 20 lbs back
I though t" I need more help!". I can never seem to keep the lbs off. I pretty sure I am not the only person that feels as though food can be looked at and the
weight just piles on. Right now I am in the stages of waiting on a referral from my insurance company! I have one visit left with the psych doctor then they will have a
meeting and place the referral. The nutritionist, Dr. Ray, and the Psych MD. dont believe I will have any trouble getting through this process, but I have heard so many
horror stories of "dealing with the insurance company" I am starting to feel skeptical about the whole thi ng. I want this so badly. Just to be healthy again is so important
to me. I am still having some difficulty staying on track with my healthier eating life style. But I keep aspiring to do better everyday.
