I was always very hesitant to have the surgery cause I didn't want to take the easy way out of it.  I knew a couple people that had it and started talking to them about it and how the surgery goes and what you eat.  I started thinking this isn't an easy way out its more of a help.  Like when smokers want to quit smoking they use a patch.  You would also have to watch what you eat and so on.  I realized it wasn't an easy way out.  So I immediately called my insurance company then the doctor and set up an appointment.  This took a little bit cause I went to my regular doctor and she said that she would have to have papers to fill out and that I needed to call my insurance company back.  I called my insurance and they said to just find a doctor in network that was a Bariatric doctor.  So i did that, went to them and they got the ball rolling.  I did every thing I was suppose to then got told I needed to go to my main doctor and get an ok from her about the surgery.  I immediatly faxed that to the Bariatric doctor and within a week I had an approval letter from my insurance doctor.  I faxed that to my bariatric doctor and they immediatly set up a surgery date for Aug 19th 2011.  I was not nervous at all for the surgery.
