  2. I quit smoking 10 months ago cold turkey I read on her that it was best so I started early ..you can do it ..it's hard in the beginning cause I got a sweet tooth after which I never had before but it took me three months to not have the urge I still when upset say dang I need a sick you kno it take will power and one day at a time to say today I won't smoke day by day you have to take it set smaller goals for stoping like I which u had more time cause everyday you could cut back once you fit all the nicotine out off your body you be fine my motivation was cause I wanted this surgery so bad I had to prove to myself and my Doctor that I was serious and I said if I could do this I could do anything good luck I kno you'll find your way

  4. Your pcp could do it like a regular doc appt just have him put in his doc notes and make sure it's separated from the other stuff talked about and the nurse at the office could weigh you Aetna is great I got approved in 24 hrs
  5. Same w me far as lifetime and copay was 25 but its a new year so it doesn't count anymore I finished in Nov

So my surgery is set for jan 21 and my insurance pays 60%and I pay 40%so my surgeon is asking for half of my 40% which is $900 up front np but my deductible hasn't been net for this year which is $1500 my coordinator said she's hard of the hospital asking for a portion of that up front but its possible that they want all of it I want to kno has anyone every had surgery with just paying a portion of their deductible to the hospital I'm so stress about this cause the money and I don't want to put it off until I get my taxes but if I have to i would .. Any info is appreciated
  10. I had my gallbladder remove 9yrs ago and I'm happy I did cause when I had an attack I thought I was having a heart attack some ppl feel pain in their right side oh boy my was in my chest so I've been doing fine w out it but I get dumping every now and then depending on what I eat like fried eggs and I go regular regular multiple times a day
  11. And my Bmi is like 42-43 and I don't have any health issues but pre hypertension.
  12. Mine too 24 hrs I was shocked
  13. This is how I feel my nerves are so bad my surgery is Jan21 and as long as I was working toward getting sleeve that was okay now that its official I'm like I'm so nerves of the unknown my anxiety has gone to the roof it's like I'm anxious but nerves at the same time
  14. What all the posters sad was true its no big deal you got this .. But I should let you kno it's no pass or fail if you having issues they will want to see you for more visits to help you get pass any issues it's a win win don't sweat it
  15. It really a personally choice Im happy u reconsider getting healthy but it kinda like I'm doing this for myself and does the risk out weigh my health problems that the way to like at it but good luck you'll find your way
  16. I was approve Friday and I'm waiting on the same the sucks I have a dummy date of jan 21 o was thinking about keep it but I want a Friday .. Congrats hope you get in for jan then we will be sleeve sisters
  17. I'm so happy for you .. U look great and happy after everything u w through w tryna get sleeve u go girl
  18. I read on this site once that I women felt she was losing too much so here but to her to add like ice cream and other things to her diet and she started gaining because once she started adding old habits to her diet it was heard to break from it .. I think the weight settled to your body and height and I would mind having alittle gap in between weight for those monthly cycles
  19. . As long as you have a advocate that will fight for you ..your good and you will do fine I kno it and I'm prayer that the New Year brings you your wish if being healthier
