Waiting On Insurance Approval...
LULU TATT replied to LULU TATT's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
got my approval...yay!!! -
SO.....I WENT TO INITIAL ASSESSMENT APPT. TODAY, AND FOUND OUT INDEED MY BMI WAS TOO HIGH TO DO THE SURGERY RIGHT NOW...I HAVE TO LOSE ABOUT 45 LBS BEFORE THEY WILL EVEN CONSIDER ME FOR THE SURGERY...I HAVE TO BE HONEST WHEN I SAY THAT I AM A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED...I EXPECTED THEM TO SAY MAYBE LIKE 20 OR 25 LBS, BUT 45 IS A BIT MUCH...I KNOW THE WEIGHT WAS GOING TO HAVE TO COME OFF ANYWAY BUT IT PROLONGS MY PROCESS OF GETTING BANDED...BUT I'M NOT GOING TO JUST GIVE UP... I AM GOING TO JUST HAVE TO LOSE THE WEIGHT, AND I PLAN ON SUCCEEDING...ANYHOO, I WILL BE POSTING A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE ABOUT MY JOURNEY AND PROCESS AS I GO ALONG...I'LL ACTUALLY BE POSTING THE FIRST ONE TONIGHT...I WANT PEOPLE TO GET A CHANCE TO KNOW ME, UNDERSTAND MY STRUGGLE, LEARN FROM MY STRUGGLE, AND HOPEFULLY THRU YOUTUBE I WILL GIVE AND GET SUPPORT...MY YOUTUBE NAME IS LULULAPBAND...AND I HOPE YOU GUYS WILL CHECK IT OUT...I DO WANT TO KNOW: HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS SITUATION HAPPEN TO THEM??? IF SO, WHAT DID YOU DO??? WHAT WEIGHT LOSS METHODS WORKED FOR YOU??? ETC?? SHARE YOUR STORY WITH ME PLZ!!! TAKE CARE GUYS....

THANKS FOR ALL DA INFO AND YOUR INSIGHT ON THE SITUATION...ITS SUCH A HARD DECISION...THE REASON I AM CONSIDERING THE SLEEVE IS BECAUSE I WAS TOLD BY VARIOUS DOCTORS THAT THE LAP BAND WOULD NOT BE A GOOD CHOICE FOR SOMEONE WOULD A BMI AS HIGH AS MINES...AND AS FAR AS THE DANGERS I WOULD BE AT MORE RISK WITH ME BRING THIS SIZE WITH THE LAP BAND...SO EITHER WAY THE RISKS ARE EVEN FOR ME...I AM STILL SO CONFUSED...I GO TO A SLEEVE SEMINAR ON MONDAY...I WILL BE MAKING MY DECISION AFTER THAT I HOPE, AND WILL KEEP YOU POSTED...BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH.... OH YEA...AND LULU VERTICAL SLEEVE DOESN'T SOUND THE SAME...LOL
