  1. im sorry u had that type of experience. im glad you turned out ok! god bless u!
  2. ive never been but i guess some good tips would be, use the bathroom prior to the call so youre not holding it while youre on the phone. take a tylenol or two before so that youre not too tensed and dont work up a headache. maybe write a little speech about how being denied has made you feel and how badly you need this and what being obese is to you physically (dont mention appearance & dont make it too long). have a glass of Water to relax you. dress comfortably so you can relax. and play out scenarios in your head. thats really the only advice i can give you since thats what i would do. good luck to you

  12. i know what you mean! i am not afraid of surgery but i was PETRIFIED of denial. i got approved on wednesday & the news was like hearring someone say u won the lotto. its so surreal. i went to my pre op appt today & im down 7lbs since i started my pre op diet on tuesday. im thankful. surgery is set for dec 20th at 8am.
  13. i decided not to be open about my surgery because people are cruel. and ITS NO ONES BUSINESS! with that being said, only a limited few know. my mom. my brother. my 2 bestfriends. another friend. my ex. a childhood friend & my old hs teacher. my step dad. thats it. sounds like a lot of people but its not when you know hundreds of ppl. everyone else thinks im having surgery for a hernia. lol.
