  1. Hi! I see a few people are sched for March 5! That's my bday! I am "scheduled" for march 13--- PRAYING my insurance approves me! Aetna is theeee worst. But anyway, I'm so scared nervous excited.. etc! Good luck to everyone
  2. Yeah I feel like a lot of my friends that I have told feel like I'm taking the easy route. If only this was easy! And they have no clue what I go through in my head being so overweight! In no way is this easy!
  3. I tell people I am going to have this surgery and they say dumb stuff like "why don't you just try herbalife" or "just eat healthier" "ill go to the gym with you"..... like ummm do they really not think I have tried pretty much everything out there!?! And great for them if they are happy eating disgusting shakes FOREVER in order to lose 25 lbs but sorrryyyy just can't do it! lol ugh I needed to vent. I told my friend last night what I am doing and obviouslyyyy was not a good idea to tell. What do you hate about amythingggg have to do with this process??
  4. Yes definitely! I didn't have the surgery yet. Scheduled for March. If insurance cooperates. Which is another story. But yes let me know. It truly is my biggest fear lol
  5. I am praying!! lol I shouldn't even say I have only been this big for four years. I was up and down pretty much forever but right before I gained all this weight I was pretty small at 150 and I didn't have any sagging! Thank you guys! I hope you're all right!
  6. Does anyone have like a lot of loose skin?! I keep telling myself that since I am only 26 and have only been this big for about 4 years I won't get any. I know everyone is different but that is honestly the one thing that is scaring me the most about this. I have like 120 lbs to loose. I plan on working out and all that but am just sooo nervous.
  7. I have Aetna as well and I am so nervous I won't be approved. They have all this criteria before they approve it and when I tried speaking to the dr. Office they just kept saying "well take care of that" like ahh what does that mean! I have a date set and have been going to my appts and if I do not get approved I will be furious! Also with work I just can't keep switching things around which is another reason I am freaking out. Do they not even attempt to get approval until after all my appointments? I have secondary insurance which this dr seems to have a problem billing so I always get stuck paying then submitting a bunch of paperwork. This is like an insurance nightmare!!
