Hey so even tho I don't have an exact date my next app is Sept 1st and he said if I lost the weight and insurance was approved we would schedule 2-3 weeks out so mid to end of September. Anyone else looking at a September surgery date?

I've been through Psych and Nutrition counseling (April-June). Approved late June. Now I'm just waiting for pre-op testing (Upper GI series. EKG - 8/10) and blood work. Last step is pre-op with surgeon and a pre-op class. It's been a little slow since insurance approval. I'm getting anxious for a date.

I'm September 6th! I was hoping for a date in August but my hospital was super booked. I'll settle for September 6th though. It's the greatest feeling ever. It just hasn't hit me yet. My bariatric class, pre op testing, and last appointment with my surgeon is August 18th.

So I just got the call, I was approved!!! She said once I meet the 15lbs loss goal that was set for me I can move up my next app date so that I'm able to get a surgery date sooner. I have pre op class Monday.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
