Got my 5th appointment down but because of my insurance I can't go to my nut classes until after my 6th appointment and then a weigh in in December(hoping December 2nd for the dumb 7th weigh in. Then I have to wait for the nut classes and my insurance approval. She said ill still have a end of year surgery but I was hoping for a early December super bummed.

My aunts kinda mad about me getting it done around Christmas and New Years. There will be quite a few traditions I won't be able to do but the sooner I get this done the better. And at least we all get thanksgiving. I think I would be quite miserable with my broth at the table and watching everyone mow down on turkey, mashed taters and casseroles lol. My family does turkey enchiladas the next day too. Lol

Some insurances do not accept high cholesterol.

I hate plain fish so I'm going to try sushi as well

oh ok thank you!

Uh oh why couldn't you take your antidepressants? I need meds to sleep so hopefully they allow them =\

my 2nd to my last appointment is this Monday and I know a bunch of information but maybe there is stuff I missed. I'm especially interested in hearing the cons. It makes me less nervous to know everything without surprises.

My 2nd to my last appointment is on Monday and last is November 26th. My insurance normally takes a week so they said I'm looking at December. I've had all my tests and came back good to go besides a small hernia. I've lost the 20 pounds my surgeon required but need to try and keep it off till then. And since I have I've lost enough weight to start my two part NUT classes which will be scheduled Monday. So excited!

I have a little less than a month and a half and I wasn't given a diet. I was given tips but I did need to lose 20lbs which I've already lost. My center makes everyone lose 10-20lbs but ever center is different.

Could use some more friends on Fitbit. My email is kill_hannah_bandanna@yahoo.com

I got to see my surgeon and the beginning and had my endoscopy 3 months in.

I'm month 5 as well, my last appointment is nov 26th and I'm required to lose 20lbs and I've already lost that and a bit. Here they don't let you go to the pre op nut classes at the end if you haven't lost enough weight and they won't schedule if you haven't lost all the weight

me too

congradulations! I'm looking at a December date aswell. There is a December thread under 2013 sleevers then december

my last weigh in is November 26th so early December is what I am looking at. if I can just make it to where I get a approved or not ill be fine lol after my next approintment on the 21st ill be scheduled for two NUT classes which i'm looking forward too.

it's actually a lot better

my last nut appointment is nov 26th so I am looking at December

I'm ordering the zip today.

I'm 4 months in and its gone by quick though this month feels kinda slow. I'm sure the last month will go super slow lol.

I'm 21 and looking at a December date

make sure to order/buy your vitamins,soups,jello,popsicals and protein shakes. make sure all your chores are done like laundry and any heavy lifting stuff.

I just hate planning for stuff im not 100% sure is going to happen cause then I feel dumb and embarrassed cuase Iv bought all this stuff and told all these people lol

mine is consecutive months

good luck to you too!

I can't help but stay negative until I find out if I am approved. planning my hospital stay, buying vitamins ect, talking about that future just feels weird to me. There is always that what if? in my mind when I'm doing all this stuff. The likelihood of me being approved is good cause my insurance only requires non smoking non drug use and a diagnosis of type two diabetes. The psychologist said he thinks I'm good to go but the bariatric team meets up and decides if i'm ready. anyone else like me?
