I went to the doctor today for my monthly check up. Thank goodness I do not have to go back for another 6 months unless something happens between now and then. I am in the middle of a weight loss battle and today there was a temporary set back. Weigh ins to date:
12/28/2010 304lbs
01/14/2011 298lbs
02/07/2011 300lbs
I am not really worried about the actual numbers but I have to admit that it is discouraging to see the number go back up.
Since I do not have another doctors appointment for a while yet I guess it is about that time to go out and get a bathroom scale. Once I do get one then I am going to try to remember to update or track my weight every two weeks (I figure if I do it on the days that David gets paid I will not forget).
On to other news. Laser hair removal was declined by my insurance. They say that it is cosmetic so it will not be covered. The dermatologist is appealing the decision because the methods of hair removal most commonly used are actually scaring my skin. I have used hair removal cream, bleaching, waxing and plucking. The various chemicals have actually scared one part of my chin and the dermatologist said that there could be worse consequences if I use them for an extended amount of time. I am hoping that I hear back from them soon and I hope it is approved. If not, then can I really justify spending the money to get it done. To have eight sessions it would be $400.00, compared to other places I have checked out that is amazingly cheap. I don't know, I will have to think about if it is worth spending the money on.

do they think 8 sessions will complete it? if so, that is a really good price!
They said that I would need between 5-8 sessions and then once a year maybe for a touch up.
that sounds great! i hope they will cover it though!
