You look amazing!!

Yea!!! For you!

It's hard when you like the surgeon and not the staff. That is where i am at right now! Sooo frustrated and trying not to cry and yell at my coordinator right now.

Don't get me started on my coordinator. She is sooooo slow at responding to an email. If i email her today i will be lucky to get a response by next Wednesday. Also my coordinator has no idea how much vsg will cost. I am debating changing doctors but really don't want to start over.she is only able to give me a cash price and tells me to contact my insurance for more details. That doesn't help me. Sorry i am very frustrated and emotional over the mess right now.

I am waiting too. It is so difficult. I have called daily and sent an email too. My bmi is 52. Here's to waiting on our approvals patiently.

You look great!! I can't believe how much younger and happier that you look!!

I may do the same. Thanks for letting me know i am not alone!

My pulmonary test was just breathing into a mouth piece very quick and easy. I also wore a pulse ox over night. It sounds like yours is quite a bit different. Sorry i couldn't be more help.

I met one of the coordinators at my doctors seminar and have been working with her. At my appointment I found out I have another coordinator. She is so slow to return emails and forget about a phone call. Should i ask if i can have the other one back??? My questions were simple...what is the phone number to enroll in a class. She left the number off of my paperwork. I don't want to be a pain but if i email or call I hope for a response quicker than 4 days later. What would you do??? Will I need my coordinator after surgery? I

I am ready for skinny clothes!

Congratulations! I know you are excited! I will finish all of my pre op appointments on Thursday. I am sooooo excited and can't wait to get my date.

I hate to shave! I am still pre op and looking forward to shaving without breaking and sweat and getting out of breath. Ahhh the nsv that i am looking towards.

I hope i feel that way about diet coke too! Did you stop drinking it preop?

The forums help alot. All the big and little questions seem to get answered. It helps talking to others that are going through the same process as we are.

Next Thursday i have my psychological evaluation, dietician appointment, pulmonary and doctors consult. After that i am finished with all testing. I am ready to be on the losers bench!!

I can't wait to get my sleeve! 60-80 pounds loss in six months sounds like winning the lottery to me.

Great job! I can't wait to be active.

You look amazing! Are you a patient of Dr. Snyders? You look familiar from the last seminar, maybe?

You are such an inspiration! Thanks for sharing. Please share your tips on such great success.

Congratulations on your approval!
