Hello from VA

Hi Everyone, My name is Shellie, I live in Chesapeake VA. I have struggled with my weight for quite a few years. So I have finally made up my mind to loss weight, learn to control my portions and to make healthier and happier changes in my life. I have not been banded yet. Just starting the journay. I have only done:

Step 1: Seminar w/ Dr. Wohlgemuth

Step 2: Call my insurance which they do have the rider for surgery.

But my worries are my BMI might be too low (34) but I do have other health problems: sleep apnea, hiatal hernia, high cholesterol & reflux. I have an appointment with my PCP on April 13th. Just keeping my fingers crossed!

Shellie, typically if you have lower BMI they ask for comorbisity (I don;t know how to spell it) issues. Like your sleep apnea, etc. Good luck to you.
