Updates... gotta get moving...
I have finished my 6 months of medical monthly visits for the insurance people. This has done nothing for me to be honest other than teaching me about why I am fat. You know the teachings of how I got here, what I do wrong, how to fix it going forward, etc. These are the same things I think about on a regular basis anyway but the insurance wants those 6 months of visits for their records.
Something else the insurance company wants is a 10 year weight history and documents proving how fat I was at each stage of these 10 years. That is a funny one for me really. I have been lying about my weight now on doctor visits for the entire 10 years except those few times I was skinny during those 10 years. Ok I am big guy skinny or fat, no matter how you look at it. At 6’3 and skinny I come in around 270lbs which most offices I go to have scales that handle up to 250lbs so I have been lying since day one. When I weight in at 350 I tell them 270, when I weight in at 400 I tell them 270. It does not matter right but I feel better when I say it because I do not get those looks. I do not think I have had to stand on a scale in a doctor’s office more then 3 times in the past 10 years since they can never handle my real weight anyway.
Ok so I am done with my 6 months. I have seen the doctors for all my tests and I have seen my surgeon to get his authorization for the surgery. Now my paperwork has been shipped off to the insurance company so they can say YES or NO, and then gives me the list of what I need to kiss on them in order to get my surgery.
This part sucks because it is a waiting game and it could be 6 weeks before I hear anything at all.
I will keep everything up to date as much as possible from here on out. I want to buy an elliptical for the house and start using it daily. Not a hard core work out but just start some 10 minute quick sessions here and there and work my way up to a bigger workout. My foot is still bothering me and I need to get my legs back into shape because if I don’t do it now I will be in serious trouble after my surgery. Did you know they make you walk about the same day as your surgery; OUCH. I would rather get myself into a routine now and then when I am in pain after my surgery it would not be as bad as having to deal with that GOD I HAVE NEVER USED MY LEGS BEFORE PAIN as well as the pain from the surgery.
Anyway, more to come…
