okay first , don't worry about venting here .. we have all been where you are at .. most of us anyway. Don't worry about the 6 month diet plan ... there IS A LOOP HOLE .. IF you can get your PCP to go for it . I too had to have a " 6 month diet plan " .. this really only consisted of 6 pieces of paper , for each month , that asked me what i was eating and what excerising i was doing that month ! All i had to do was fill them all out and have my PCP sign them !! I didn't wait 6 months .. Its all paper work for the insurance company . So , get the paper work ( your surgeons office will have them ) Fill them out starting 6 months ago with whatever diet you've " been on " and ask your Dr to sign them . Now .. getting upset about 3 month wait is a entirely different story . I know you read sometimes about people on here that decided want surgery and they have it the following Tuesday . HAH That is not realistic. it will take you ITLEAST 3 months to get in to see all the specialist for the Pre-op testing . I had to wait 4 WEEKS just to get a CONSULT with the sleep Apena Dr ! So start booking those those test now , stay ahead of the game. If you find out later that you don't need that particular test , cancel it . No biggie . But if you happen to do , you already have a appt. DONT GIVE UP YET !! YOU ARE JUST GETTING STARTED !!! Good luck ! =)

Ill keep a record too ! Ive got 12 and im pretty worried up .

Im doing the SAME THING ! !ve actually gained 5 lbs !!! Got to cut it out !!! You arent alone though ! haha

Hello ! All I can say is do your research !! I wanted Lap-band at first then changed my mind. Decided its just not for me personally and im now going with Gastric Bypass / Sleeve . Just either way you go .. do your research !! =) It sounds like you are on the right track for a new life tho since you are already asking questions !! =)

Girl .. I was just like you . You gotta stop feeling sorry for yourself and LIVE !!! You shouldnt really be concerned with a man not loving you because you are big you should be concernd that he's not going to want to deal with the depression issues you have. I know this because I had to over come ALOT to get where i am today and it all dwindels down too.. stop feeling so ******* sorry for myself. Pot doesnt help either . You are just making yourself more depressed. Get up off the couch and go outside ! Im saying these things to save your life not to be mean. If you dont care about yourself why the hell would should anyone else ? =)

Well , I had my Endscopy and everything was NORMAL !! Hellz YEAH !! I also completed my 6 month diet plan and had them signed , ive seen the nurtionist and had my Psych Elv . So now im just waiting to do my Sleep Apena test and then she will give me a date !! Im so excited ! I really think at this rate I should get my surgery before Halloween ! HOPEFULLY !

Hey everyone ! Im having Gastric Bypass coming up here really soon just waiting on my actual day ! I never had Lap- band. It just wasnt for me so I went with this instead. I cant wait !!!!!

Wow that really sucks !!

Oh my goodness i go thr the same thing with my husband. He really feels like im going to get thin and go freaking nuts ! He watches the Youtubes videos of wls ladies in bikinis and it scares the crap outta him. i told him he better watch it ! i kid. lol

Hello there ! Well , it sounds like you have alot on your plate ! If I were you I would first make a appt with whatever surgeon you are planning on using. Because in most cases their office manger can help you with your insurance company. The surgeon wants to make money . so they most likely will find a way. You will have to jump thro alot of hoops and red tape .. but if you have that many co-morbidilities theres someway it can be done. If not thro you insurance at work , the state may pay for it since you are so high risk. I urge you to make a appt with the suregon and get the ball rolling. I myself am jumping thro alot of hoops to get Gastric bypass. I have more than 150lbs to lose so that was the besst option for me. But yea, i know it will all be worth it in the end. GOOD LUCK !! KEep me posted !!

Wow !! What a tough descion !! It is alot of money .. but if I had it .. I think i would go ahead and pay for it ! Hell lets get this ball rolling !! Lol
