Thanks...it was a piece of cake! The psychologist is going to clear me...yay!!! Little bits

Hello all! I get my psych eval completed today @ 1:30 & I meet with the Pulmonoligist tomorrow @ 1:30. These are my final clearances...whoo hoo! Hopefully, I'll get my date soon. I still have two nutrition classes (April 17th & May). Hopefully, they won't keep me from getting my date! So excited & nervous!!! Little bits

Good luck! My psych eval is tomorrow! Little bits

You're welcome! Little bits

Thanks & you're welcome! Little bits

If they will cover the surgery, I would wait. When you start the 6 month diet, it is my understanding that they go with the first documented weight. I began this process in December. I have two appointments next week, my 5th nutrition class on the 17th & my final class will be in May. It's really not that bad. I used that time to learn as much information as possible & to prepare for my surgery...hope that helps. Good luck! Little bits

Are they good? Thanks for sharing! Oh, good luck & congratulations! Little bits

Congratulations! Little bits

Actually, I read through my initial paperwork & it said runny grits three or four weeks out. However, my nut definitely said no grits. I guess that explains why people kept saying, "are you sure that grits are not allowed"...lol! Little bits

Ditto! Little bits

Hello everyone! I'm @ the end of my 6 month supervised diet stage. I am 5'2" & 214 lbs. I currently take meds for diabetes & hbp. I will finish my final nutrition class in May & I hope to have my surgery in June, when school ends. I thoroughly enjoy this forum, but I am extremely excited about this thread. My concern, like many others, is hair loss. I do not perm my hair; however, I am addicted to coloring it. That's my thing & now I am beginning to wish that I had taken a break before coloring my hair 6-8 weeks ago...such is life. Anyway, now I'm praying that I won't have any issues with my insurance company. Little bits

I haven't been given a date yet. I have two more clearances (scheduled for early April) & two more nutrition classes (April & May). So, hopefully, I can have my surgery done either the 2nd or 3rd week of June. I'm so excited! Little bits

Me too! Little bits

I just called BCBS of DE & they still require the six months... Little bits

Good luck & I hope that you won't have to wait too long!!! If you have gone through the process with your husband, you are probably better prepared than most of us. Little bits

I don't want to lose too much, until my liquid diet stage. I barely qualify; according to my doctor, my weight induced illnesses (hbp & diabetes) are what really qualify me. Meanwhile, I don't understand how that is the case...I get a little angry about that since I weigh 214 lbs @ 5'2". (Sorry...I had to vent for a moment.) So, I'm really trying to maintain & not gain right now. Anyway, the six months have practically flown by...honestly. I was upset at first, but it really wasn't bad. Little bits

Thanks, good to know. Little bits

First & foremost, I can't wait to get off of hbp & diabetes meds. I also can't wait to wear all of the cute little dresses from the Junior's section that I just purchased...lol! Little bits

Congrats! Little bits

Congratulations! Little bits

Congratulations!!! Little bits
