joyful noise

Last week at the surgeons' I was told he would remove 70-75% of the stomach and that I would lose approximately 80% of my goal of 100 pounds. He suggested an RNY and I told him I would not be comfortable with that and still wanted the sleeve. I did not come this far to get my dreams shattered. I will merely diet until the whole 100 comes off.

Welcome! You have come to the right spot and get answers to most, if not all, of your questions.

The surgeon cannot issue a referral with my ins, but he did call my PCP and got him to do the referral.

After a frustrating morning getting a referral for the Pulmonologist, I really was not in exactly a good mood.
While filling out the 15 page pre-surgical questionnaire, I got funny and answered "human" to the race question. Now, if they want my ethnicity...
Well it was funny to me.

Just read it quickly. Thank you

I had already done my 6 month nut visits, the psych, the EKG, Chest X-Ray, H Pylori. The coordinator said the only thing left was a clearance from a pulmonologist because I have sleep Apnea.
Since I received the approval today, I will find out anything else on my visit on Wednesday.

I just got the call from the surgeon's office. I've been approved. I will have my first office visit next Wed and they will give me my surgery date then. God is soooooooooooooooooo Good.

I already have "half-timers" - half the time I forget and the other half I just don't rememeber. The only thing I do not want to forget is why I am having the surgery and to never get back to my obesity.

I can't wait to stop hearing "My, you got fat!"

I would like any size that removes the ghrenlin hormone. But, the smaller the better for me. Easier to fill and be full.

I will ask my dr if I will have an abdominal binder put on me after surgery, if not, I will certainly visit babies-r-us.

Wow! Too small? What a concept; something to think about.

Lots of times. I have 2 pairs of shoes (navy & black) of the same style. One day I wore one of each. The girls at work laughed and reminded me I have a pair just like it at home.

I had the option to meet with the nut or my pcp. I chose the nut.I learned alot at the nut meetings that I would not have otherwise known if I met with my PCP.
