I have yet to contact anyone, but from what I am reading it is close to impossible to get this procedure done within a year. I hope that the dr, that has all of my info for the last 6 or more years of up and down weights,and if I could find out the dr names from the last 35 years I think they would do the surgery on me tomorrow. I probably have lost up to 400 lbs in my lifetime and just can't keep it off. I have asked dr's in the previous years when my weight was down that could feel it coming back on they would just look at say those famous words "just diet and exercise". How brutal. I know sometimes you need some help to keep it off. To fight with this for the last 35 years is insane. I have to have a plan to stop it from coming back on. I like the fact you can go back to the dr and they can actually do something immediate for you and change the size of the ring. Wow. It says to upload a picture before surgery, I don't even want to look myself. I have no pictures of me, maybe 3.
Well I am going to try to call some one today so I can start this in January when I will probably learn that I have to pay for just about everything or maybe my insureance will really help me this.
