    Getting Nervous but excited to start my new life!

    I thought about the same thing as you..(chewing something, then spitting out),,when I go to my pre op..I like to look at others before and after pictures, for my inspiration..I hear the pre op is one of the hardest things to do, but my Nutritionist said it wont kill us,,we will survive! Hang in there!!

    How much do you pay out of pocket?

    I am pre-op and so far I paid $300 for Doctor consult, $355 for 2 nutrition classes, $288 for Pych Evaluation,(Ins paid $60) and waiting on Ins to pay the $900 Extensive Blood workup..I was surprised, b/c INS said it will pay for weightloss surgery,,and Nut, and Pych was a hoop I am having to jump through demanded by BC Insurance of Al..(teachers),,I havent paid the Pych b/c I will have to get a loan when this is all over..I also had to do a 6 month Dr Monitored weight loss Program (or weight watchers)before I have surgery..I amwaiting on a surgery date now.. I will do what I have to do..but Im having this surgery,,,jump in..do it..!! talk to ins company yourself...good luck!!!

    Am I Eating Enough

    I am thinking it has to do with your weight right now, I would HATE to have to do what your Dr, wnts..I am dreading the 2 weeks before,much less having to do it 1.5 month before. The 2 wks before, the liquid diet is to shrink your liver which sits right in front of your stomach..Maybe you need to ask him to explain more so it will give you more motivation to stick to it..Good Luck on your journey!!
  19. You have come too far to give up. Dont let others talk you out of it..Be strong. Say a prayer for peace, and Put God in Control..then relax and let the best thing happen for the rest of your life!!
