So glad to hear you are doing well!! I am still plugging away, 3rd and hopefully final nut visit is in September and then hopefully I can meet with the surgeon and get submitted to insurance! So excited! It gives me hope everything will work out ok!

Just an update!! I just got back from my follow up and I do not have sleep apnea!!!!! I am so thankful for that!! And shocked that I actually slept a little over 6 hours I did not think I even got close to that! I do have periodic leg movements that wake me up quite a bit but she said that is common for someone who has had knee surgery as I have. She said once I reach my goal weight if it is still happening they ban give me meds to help! I also am not spending much time in REM sleep so that us why I am so tired, but I am just do happy that I don't have apnea! I think I did a little happy dance!!

Everything seemed to go ok but I got like no sleep at all... I came right home and went back to bed for a few hours! They didn't say they had to reschedule me or anything so hopefully they got the info that they needed. This was my first sleep study and I an sincerely hoping that I don't have sleep apnea! I won't find anything out for 10 days when I have my follow up appt... I hate all this waiting, makes me crazy!

Am here and all wired up, this has got to be the wierdest thing I have ever done! The room is nice an the bed is comfy so that is a plus. I hope I can sleep, it is lights out pretty soon! Cross your fingers for me

I'm 27, but I was 26 when I started all this! Holding on to my 20's for dear life. ;o) I wanted to start actually living my life before I hit the big 3-0! I have my sleep study on Saturday and then 2 more visits with the NUT and they should be able to submit to my insurance! I can't wait!

Hey all!! I have been working hard on my prerequisites for surgery and my preop diet and the next thing coming up is my sleep study and I am getting a little nervous about it. I tend to have a hard time sleeping in unfamiliar places so I am not sure how this is going to go... Keeping my fingers crossed that 1) I can actually sleep and 2) that I DO NOT have sleep apnea. Study is on 8/4 and then I have a follow up for that, one more meeting with the psych ( she was concerned I was being to hard on myself) and then 2 more visits with the NUT and then they should be able to submit to insurance!! Hopefully I can lose these lbs required by MVP so I don't delay anything!! Can't wait to be on the loser's bench!!

This is so awesome!! I hope to be there with you sooner rather than later!!

Hi! I have my first NUT seminar/meeting tomorrow morning and I am so excited! It's great to finally be getting the ball rolling. I am not sure whether I have to do 3mos or 6 my insurance policy is super confusing but hopefully they can explain it to me at the surgeons office! I am hoping for only 3 mos!! Good luck to you!!

Amazing ! You are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your pictures!

I will probably have a date around then, I will be having mine at highland hospital in Rochester ny I am having my first NUT seminar on 6/13 and then my history and physical on 7/2... So we will see what they say about my insurance. I wish the process didn't take so long !

Amen to that!! I can't wait to not be the fat girl! I have never been able to buy anything in Victoria's secret except perfume and lotion do I look forward to that! Finding the man of my dreams and not being judged and made fun of along the way Getting married and having babies Getting rid of my anxiety !! Too many things to name ! I am ready to not be trapped in this body anymore!!
