I have my appointment with my PCP on Friday. I called my insurance Blue Care Network HMO and asked what criteria has to be met. They mailed me the

policy and according to what I read, I should qualify. The closest hospital

to me in Downtown Henry Ford. I'm just waiting to see what my doctor says

and hopefully get this ball rolling. I'm getting anxious and excited at the same

time. I really want to turn my life around and be happy once again! What steps have you taken? Tell me about yourself!!

I have my first appointment Monday at the clinic in Yspli. I was suppose to go in Augest and got scare so I chickened out. I have BCBS PPO and they do cover it but I am worried for some reason I will not quilfy for it.

Why do you think that you won't qualify? Do you have any of the

comorbidities that they list? High blood pressure, sleep apnea, diabetes.

I do have the high blood pressure and severe sleep apnea. I'm worried

about this whole 6 month pre-diet surgery thing. I really hope I don't have

to wait the 6 months. I did do Weight Watchers last year with no success. I'm nervous about tomorrow, but I really hope everything goes ok. I'd at least like to get the surgery to help with the sleep apnea too. That alone will make me feel better. I'm not sure what my BMI is, I'll find that out tomorrow. I know I am waaayyy overweight. I'm 5'4. So that part

is a no brainer!
