After talking over WLS with my doctor, I have decided to do something about it. In January I attended the Information Session, had my nurse consult, and now I have to wait until mid-March to start with my psych evaluations. I'm nervous about the entire journey. I'm afraid I'll be turned down by my insurance and that would be so disappointing.
Sometimes I feel that I should be able to lose weight on my own. I've tried so many times, and I've had some successes; however they never last. I'm tired of being overweight, tired of feeling embarrased of how I look and not wanting to do anything socially. I wish I had done this years ago
This is my new start, and I am so excited
02/24/07 - Just looking outside and watching it sleet. I go online often to read what other OH members are feeling. Mid-March is so far away.
03/25/07 - I am now going through my psych visits. Had the first one last Wednesday - didn't get much out of it. I have to take the written "test" this Wednesday. Shrink said it will take 2 hours!! What in the world can they ask you that would last that long??
Went shopping today. Always a great way to reinforce my decision to have the surgery. Nothing fit, and I looked so fat in everything.........yearning for the day when I don't have to head toward the Plus clothes. How good must that feel???
04/25/07 - Frustrated!!!!!!!! I have finished with my shrink meetings, however she wants me to attend a few support group meetings and then report back to her. I don't mind doing that, but trying to get in touch with Lana Boutacoff is HORRIBLE!!! We have traded phone calls. She never calls at the times I tell her I'm available, and when I try to call her she doesn't answer. Each day that drags by makes me want to chuck the whole thing. It all seems so far away and unreachable.
