HI - I have been reading all of your posts for a couple of months or so now however I just signed up today. I have already seen my surgeon, seen the psych and the NUT and I confirmed with my insurance company that they got all the paperwork last Tuesday so this Tuesday 3/31 will be one week. They give a two week turn so I should know by April 7th...if I am approved... oh gosh I hate to wait.... I feel like I am so ready to get going on this new adventure for the rest of my life. (looks like when my approval comes thru, I might be scheduled for beginning of May for surgery)

I really appreciate how open and honest everyone is and feel like I have learned a lot of tips and great advice along the way. Just wanted to say Thank you for all the inspiration and Good Luck to everyone!!

Any one else playing the waiting game as well???

Question? Does your 6 month wait period start once the paperwork is sent to the insurance company (meaning PSY testing) or when the first Initial visit?

HI - no I was lucky that they did not require the six month NUT visit, not exactly sure why... but I'm not going to question it. Don't want them to change their mind.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
