Early May 2011
I'm going to a Bariatric Surgery Seminar at Rocky Mountain Associated Physicians (RMAP). My wife is with me. I trust her to remember all of the details. She's good at taking notes, asking questions, and keeping me organized.
I'm not scared, I really want this. My weight has slowly been creeping up to the point that I'm over 300 pounds. Plus, I have diabetes II and sleep apnea.
The seminar is a bit of a sales pitch, but mostly good information about the various bariatric surgeries that are available. I learn that the Roux-En-Y surgery is probably the best for me. The outcome of this surgery is the possibility of losing all of my excess body weight (and thus ridding myself of sleep apnea) as well as curing my diabetes II.
At the end of the seminar, we pick up a packet with roughly 5,000 pages. Once we've filled it out, we can move on to step two, which is... ummm... let me get back to you. I didn't take any notes.
Seriously, we are beginning the process of getting insurance approval. Fortunately our health insurance covers bariatric surgery.
