  1. Its simple!! She feels you are leaving her behind. She feels like she will lose you and not have a role in your new life. Think about what you always did together. Probably has a lot focused on food. She is afraid because you cannot eat and be the way you do now with each other.
  2. Yup that's what I plan to do first thing Monday morning. You are your own advocate and I am the type that will call 10 times a day every day to make sure things are getting done
  3. Yay welcome Tina I did my last weigh in visit today!! Seems surreal after seemingly taking 7 years instead of 7 months LOL. This is a great place with great people!!
  4. I read a post on this forum not too long ago about those friends. The ones that bring you along while your overweight so they look better. They all know that your not going to be "that friend " any longer and you are going to be the one getting all the attention now
  5. How awesome!!! I am so excited for everyone that is getting surgery soon!!! I am still praying I get mine this month!! Guess I will find out hopefully a date next week

  8. Kate ask them but you should be able to havep SF jello too. Usually SF crystal lite etc..too
  9. Had my last weigh in today and so glad to finally get the 7 months over with. Feeling run down now after finally being able to exhale and flu and pneumonia shots and blood work. Just from pre op diet doctor already reduced the dosage of my blood pressure medicine and said I don't need to take my cholesterol anymore because the levels are not that too bad where after surgery I would not need it anymore. YAYYYY NSV
  10. I know how you feel!! I keep thinking that when is the ball going to drop!! I know I am getting closer but I can't help feel something somewhere is going to throw a wrench in it. I go today for final weigh in and then off to the waiting game...
  11. Most surgeons require you to stop taking birth control pills 30 days prior to surgery
  12. Did my psych evaluation today boy took all day!! But least I was cleared and she knows my story so she will submit her part tomorrow. So now tomorrow morning I go in for my final weigh in and they will FAX it to insurance coordinator tomorrow too so then hopefully friday or Monday she can submit for approval
  13. Ugh I have to be up in 6 hours and I can't sleep!!! I sure hope I don't mess this psych evaluation up!!
  14. Its depending on your insurance company they each require different things. Like mine was 7 consecutive months of supervised weight loss I was placed on a 1500 calorie diet and exercise program. I went in once a month for weigh ins and submitted food logs and exercise logs
  15. Are you going through your regular doctor? I am trying to figure out where your at in the process like do you already have a surgeon and he ordered the tests?
  16. I have BCBS Highmark. I know BCBS requires 6 months supervised weight loss
  17. What insurance company do you have? You can always call them and ask the requirements and to even see if your policy covers it
  18. Have psych evaluation today and then tomorrow weigh in with pcp then I will be waiting with ya
  19. Also fixing a hernia afterwards they do a tummy tuck and insurance covers it
  20. I am so excited for you all tomorrow!!! Good luck and God Bless hope you have speedy recoveries and will be on pins and needles waiting for updates. At least I will be busy tomorrow bit don't know how I will be able to keep focused for the psych evaluation when all I will want to do is be glued to my phone to check on y'all lol
  21. Good luck tomorrow will be thinking of you and waiting on updates
  22. Welcome!!! What stage are you at? Like I have to do 6 months supervised weight loss insurance required. I and most others have to have same test and some more test then others. Such as EKG ENDOSCOPY PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST AND BLOOD WORK PSYCH EVALUATION. Each doctor and insurance company differs in what they require prior to surgery
