I love your story!!! Congrats!!! Little bits

I just found out that I have a mild case of sleep apnea this week. I'm not very happy, so I hope that it goes away. The Pulmonoligist seems to think that it will. Little bits

Good luck! Little bits

Update--So, in addition to all of my other ailments, I have sleep apnea...great! Thankfully, the sleep center has been very flexible by fitting me into their schedule on short notice. So, I stayed here last night & I'm here again tonight. Ugh!!! :'( I know that it's not that bad, but I am having a serious pity party. I'm tired of being sick! This weight has to go ASAP! Bright side--Hopefully, this new "issue" will push the insurance company to approve my surgery. Little bits

Wow...I'm sorry! I have HBP, diabetes & (as of last night) sleep apnea. I hope that my insurance doesn't deny me. I'm really concerned now. I hope that everything works out for you!!! These insurance companies are ridiculous. Little bits

My experience was very similar to Misstxdiva. I met with the NUT a week later, but everything else was the same. Good luck!!! Little bits

Congrats!!! I have one on Tuesday & one in May. Little bits

Good luck! Hopefully, I'm right behind you!!! Little bits

If you don't mind me asking, why were you denied? I'm afraid of the same thing. I have HBP, diabetes, asthma & as of last night sleep apnea...ugh! Little bits

Great job! Little bits

Congrats & good luck!!! I just called the surgeon's office to determine when I would be able to schedule my surgery date. The person who answered the phone, who was not very friendly, said that I won't be able to schedule it until the last two nutrition classes are completed...ugh! I'll talk to my nutritionist on Tuesday, when we have our one on one session. She is the one who said that I would be able to schedule a tentative date after all clearances, minus the last two nutrition classes, were completed...we'll see. I'm excited! Little bits

This forum is just what the doctor ordered. Although my family is very supportive, they still can't identify with my current struggles. Thank you so much! Little bits

Thanks everyone for all of the support!!! I was a wreck yesterday! Now, let's hope that my insurance company is on board as well! Little bits

Thanks for the support! The sleep study facility was able to fit me in today. I'm here now. I was very nervous, but they are extremely nice. Hopefully, everything will be fine & I will get my date soon! Wish me luck! Little bits

They are requirements/clearances determined by the insurance company and/or the surgeon. Little bits

Thanks, my luck ran out. My meeting with the Pulmonoligist did not go well. :'( The doctor cleared me pending a sleep apnea test. Luckily, they can see me tonight. I'm praying that I don't have it. It's always something! I can't wait to lose this weight!!! Little bits

Not sure what happened...sorry about the multiple messages. Little bits
