Guest guest Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Hi everyone, just wanted to say yesterday was my consultation with the surgeon and I am appauled at what getting this surgery includes. Even the doctor was saying that the insurance laws are to discourage people and I think thats really sad. But a 6 month physician supervised diet plan?? I have weight watchers for the last 9 months, Lucielle debit from my account and weigh in's there! but that dont count! but oh well the way i look at it, I have to go for 3 months and then they schedule the surgery. with christmas right around the corner and my family coming to NY from California and Hawaii being the first time i have seen my 2 sis and mom and nieces and nephews since my father died 3 yrs ago, I am taking it lighter than if they werent coming, I figure time will fly! But March 05 sounds SO far away......seems like the waiting game is just a big waste of time and with my colesteral over 300 and blood pressure of 190/120- i dont have a stroke! I am currently on diavan and lipitor to get the #'s down but yesterday it was 170/110 and i have been on the diavan for 2 months. did everyone have to go thru this?
