Wow- glad im not alone in hubby acting that way- while hes supportive- he has said hes worried about me getting "attention" that i am not used to getting (His worry) and no matter how many times i tell him that its not about getting attention- or 'skinny'... that its about my health! it gets frustrating when im worried about the surgery but focusing on making my hubby feel OKAY with the way im goign to look. and im not sure i will even look THAT different.-= yes i have 130 lbs to lose- but im still ME. right!? so, anyway- glad im not the only one in this boat!

WOW. that is sooo awesome! congrats!!

Assuming all the insurance stuff goes as planned.... my VSG will be on 12/21.... what will my christmas be like?? I know i will be home- 2 nights in hospital puts me back home on 1/23.... will i be up and moving around- helping my kids open packages.... ? I know i cant pick up anything heavy (so, not my 2 year old).... but will i be okay!!?? Thanks guys!!

Honestly, im not sure HOW this is going to work with Aetna! i have been working with my PCP to work on my BP and pre diabetes diagnosis for the past two years- with both excersise and weight management. so, we will see. after all this- it might be denied anyway right!?! but then i have to go wtih BCBS who only covers teh band... .

So, i have been lurking around here for about 6 weeks. My friend told me about the Sleeve- and i was excited about it! This past tuesday i went to an info session at the local hospital- everyone was very nice. they talked about the various options- i still liked the Sleeve option the best. met with the sergeon today- she suggested the sleeve as well- then the hiccup came- i am currently on Aetna- but starting January 1st i switch to BCBS.... since Aetna is more supportive and my BMI doesnt meet the needs for the sleeve through BC, she suggested RUSHING this process. So, i met wtih the dietician already, have surgery scheduled for 12/21 (there goes my christmas) i have support meetings scheduled every week until then, and i have to get my dr to write that i have been medically supervised while on Weight W. so, right now, all this happened in the past 4 hours TODAY. i am kinda freaking out. and i dont really know how much money this is going to cost.... im waiting to hear back from the insurance lady at the drs office to give me (and my husband) an idea of the cost out of pocket- with deductable etc. ahhhhhh help me calm down please!?!?
