    YES I DID! ALL THIS PAST WEEKEND. Started the pre-op diet Monday only to be told I had been postponed another week. So, here I go again. ONLY, this time, I'm not going to do the pigging out this time around. I was miserable Monday morning and had gained 4 lbs.........ugh

    Tears of Frustration....

    pjackson0523 replied to Jerzygurl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Another thing you could do is call your insurance company and tell them that you suspect he is just running up bills. They can step in and say that's enough.

    Please keep us up to date as often as you can. I am having surgery on the 21st.

    Surgery Ticker

    pjackson0523 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I want the surgery ticket, yet, when I go to create new ticker, it only gives me the option of a BMI ticker. Can anyone tell me how to get that?

    I didn't have to do Optifast. I was allowed one egg and 1 piece of fruit for breakfast. But, I'm used to full breakfast. Have to have a shake for lunch.

    Walking into my healing brought tears to my eyes. So very true.
  15. pjackson0523
    I start tomorrow. Although, mine isn't TOTALLY liquid, it's still very restrictive.

    PRAY FOR ME

    pjackson0523 replied to melindawantstolive's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

    I came to this decision scared to death. Now, I am confident that I'm doing the right thing and so excited for my surgery to come. I know what you mean by being too tired to walk or put on clothes or really just to even move. You can do it and I'm sure you will be so glad when you do.

    OCTOBER 14!!!! YAY. Is there anything I need to do or have a handy to help me through the first couple of weeks after surgery?

    BCBS OF ILLINOIS

    pjackson0523 replied to pjackson0523's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Wow. I guess every policy is different. I guess it depends on your company. I only had to have one nut and one psych, sleep study and ekg.

    pjackson0523 replied to pjackson0523's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Yeah, I guess it really wasn't that long considering my insurance didn't require a six month wait like some do. I started the whole process on Aug 16. So it's just been over a month to go through the whole pre-op process. Now to just get my surgery date which they should call me today or tomorrow.

    How long did it take for approval once submitted?
  24. pjackson0523
    I told my boss and coworkers before I told my family and I had the biggest cheerleaders. I would like to add that my boss is male and all of my coworkers are also male. But, they have been so supportive through the whole preparing process. I guess I'm lucky.

    How long does it normally take to get the results back for the sleep study????
