New Obstacles

Good afternoon all.  I found out a few days ago that BCBS (Blue Cross Blue Shield) was requiring 12 months worth of discussion and work on my weight.  This is a little aggravating since I have had doctors telling me most of my life how to fix my weight problem but nothing has really worked.  What they don't seem to understand right now is that this was not an easy decision.  When I was 16 I had a doctor that did everything in his power to get me in to have surgery.  I didn't want it and up until about 2 years ago I didn't think it would really do any good.  Then my dad went through the program and I realized that the way the program is now was so much better and it became a consideration.  I'm looking forward to all the possibilities that are in front of me and I hope to be in better shape for my 30s and onward.  I had my last appointment with Mission Weight Management yesterday and got the approval to go see the surgeon.  So hopefully I will see him within the next 2-3 weeks and know the plan of attack from there.  I have got a few things that have occurred recently that I'm worried about but I know there's a reason for it happening now and not down the road.  So for now I will focus on the good and deal with whatever comes as it comes.
