Significant Others
☠carolinagirl☠ replied to kcdaddy3's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You must do this for you. Sure I can see why she'd be jealous. Just continue to remind that person that you love them and just because you are losing weight and getting healthy, doesnt mean your feelings will change. Been there before w/this. You can do do this.. -
congratulations

after conferring w/Tricare numerous times, they told me to go ahead and get all my pre-ops out of they way and then have the clinic forward to them for approval. I am hoping to get this lap band in place as soon as I can. But I have started my journey now and that band will help me. I am here for you. -

Initial Consultation?
☠carolinagirl☠ replied to JAHouch's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
HI Annie. I spoke with my surgeon just last week for my first appt. He went over the bypass and the lap band with me. He discussed what to expect and that it would be up to me on how successful I wanted my lap band to be. I also met with the financial officer and got assigned a fantastic case mgr who is helping me each step of the way. Just go and get the info and be yourself. You will do fine. -

Hi Tina. I am on Tricare also (my hub is retired Air Force). Tricare told me there is not a waiting period but my bariatric clinic is saying that there is. So I am getting my pre-ops out of the way and doing everything I need to so my doctor can fax all the paperwork to Tricare once I have completed all the items they told me. (and if it I have to wait 5 more month, then so be it). But it is a learning process. Step by Step. -

Nutrition Clearance Appt-What Do They Say/do For Clearance Letter?
☠carolinagirl☠ replied to ☠carolinagirl☠'s topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I guess I am concerned about saying (something) wrong in this appt and on the mental eval appt. Can someone say the wrong things? -
Be happy with who you are now, and let your positivity inspire your journey into tomorrow... Everything that happens in life is neither good nor bad... It just depends on your perspective... And no matter how it turns out, it always ends up just the way it should... Either you succeed or you learn something... So stay positive, appreciate the pleasant outcomes, and learn from the rest... Your positivity will help encourage those around you
