I lost it!

So, I went to my third nutritionist appointment yesterday and I am down 8 lbs. I had been stressing out because I lost 5 and then gained 2 back, but nope...I'm down 8! My appointment went really well and she said that she would let me take my gastric bypass 2 class in April instead of May. That means I see her in May and June instead of May, June, July and my paperwork will be sent for approval during the July board meeting. I must say that time is definitely flying and I'm getting excited. I now have to get some blood work done for some type of bacteria to make sure I do not have it, an EKG, and my mental health evaluation.

 

I'm hoping for an August surgery date, fingers crossed!

 

Thanks to all that sent encouragement in my last blog. I got this!

    It sounds like you may have Kaiser insurance...if so check and see if they use outside surgeons. If they do, check and see if the surgeons have any requirements. I have Kaiser and found out that the surgeon required that I attend their Weight Loss seminar. I did it while I was still doing the classes with kaiser so that once I got approval from the board, I could make an appt with the surgeon for a date....this saved me a month of waiting for the surgeon's class.

    Isleevedit...yes, I am a Kaiser patient. I have attended the seminar at the Hospital with the surgeon that I will do my procedure. I know that he requires me to get an EKG so I'm going to get that done sometime in June. My co-worker had the same surgery in January with the surgeon I'm using and she told me everything I need to do prior.
