My new meds are starting to work I think. My blood sugars are coming down nicely and I've got the ball rolling for Gastric Bypass Surgery again. As of a few days ago I'm at 316 and 52.2% body fat. That ain't good hey? I've set up an appointment with Marquette General Hospital Dietary Services for counseling. I need to have six consecutive and documented months of counseling. Also the Hospital has to be on Medicare's approved list in order for Medicare to pay for the surgery. MGH isn't on the list yet but they should be by January and that is perfect for me. I would like to stay close to home for the surgery. I was going through a hospital in Wisconsin and they wanted to send me to Milwaukee. That is just too far away. Duluth wouldn't be bad it's only 4 or so hours away. We'll see what happens after my 6 months of counseling. I've also gotten in touch with an Overeaters Anonymous website which has 12 step meetings every 3 hours starting at 12 midnight Est. I am in the process of doing 90 meeting in 90 days. Online meetings are convenient but boring as all heck. instead of listening to people you sit and read everyone's shares.
For the last week it's been hot but today it's not too bad but I'm cold. Tonight it should hit 39 for a low. Time to take out a blanky.
