Renee's Story!
Well, I thought I would use this as my online journal. Sharing my story and my journey through WLS. Today, I had my 3rd appointment with my PCP... I am half way done with the 6 months of supervised diet! It seems as though I just started this process yesterday... It is moving very fast. I met with the surgeon on May 31, and it went very well. The dr. felt there was no reason the insurance co. would not approve my surgery. I am very hopeful! Today I also made all of my pre-op appointments. They will all be finished on Aug. 2nd. After my September PCP visit it will be submitted to the insurance co.... Sometimes it is hard to believe that this is reality!!! It has been a dream for some time. I pray all of my pre-op tests come back okay.
I had to fill out many papers for my appointment with the surgeon. I had to state when my weight became an issue. I put for 18 years. That is when it hit home. I have been overweight to some degree since I was in 4th grade!!! Even the surgeon asked if I meant since I was 18 years old... I WISH! It has been a struggle forever! Mentally I can not think of what could have been or I should have done this long ago. All I can think of is I am doing it now, and my life will change once and for all!
I hope things are moving along smoothly... I will continue to think positive and if I hit a bump in the road, I will deal with it then. No use worrying...
I finally changed my picture... I replaced my puppy with a picture of ME!
Until next time.... Renee
