The First Step

Now that I recovered from the lung biopsy,  I could concentrate on gB again!   Again I talked with my pcp and she said go for it!  I first had to see what the requirements are from the ins company  and if they would pay at all.  They have several regulations before u can have the surgery.  First they had to make sure my BMI was above 40 with no comorbidities.  These include high blood pressure, diabetes, history of heart attack or stroke.  My BMI is 53 when started.  I also have to be on a DR supervised diet for 6 months.  There are other tests and seminars that are required.
As of today, I have done everything required except for a psychological exam that I take on Monday. On Wednesday have my last weigh in.  Then all the papers get sent into insurance for approval.  So until then.......:)
