Padmehum

Had a set back today. Among a couple of other findings I learned my insurance has some hoops that will make me wait at least 6 mos more 'till I can get scheduled. Probably nothing new to any of you, but I am truly disappointed. Nothing that won't make me stronger and more resolved. I believe that an obstacle is nothing more than a challenge. I accept the challenge & will prevail.

My 1st consult is next wed. I'm all a flutter in anticipation. I've been absessing over this for weeks. I have no doubt I'm choosing the right WLS. I had a minor anxiety attack when I made the sugerical appt. a small bit of doubt crept in. But a few mins on thie site reading everyone's supporting comments made my doubts disappear. I'm excited & still a bit nervous. But it's all coming together so easily.

I sent my application for the surgery in today. I'm staying positive that I'll be affirmed. With a BMI of 40.2 shouldn't be a problem. Have only told 2 close friends about my decision to do this. Haven't told my kids or my parents yet. Waiting until I have a date. Scheduled for a stress test on Tuesday. I'm anxious to get this thing done and start losing! I have anxiety about the diet & food choices. Oh, just full of emotions.

Thanks arainey77! Found out today I'm covered. Now just to get the paperwork through.

I live near Benton & am just getting started. I have a stress test scheduled Tues. don't even know yet if my ins will cover the WLS. I'm reading the posts and appreciate all of the support you guys give each other. I've only told my BFF & boss about this. I don't need the saboteurs making it any harder than it already is. What is "fast track program"? How long did it take you from the time you decided to have the WLS & it happen? What kind of pre-op diet did you use & why?
