Good luck! Hope it is soon!

When you guys start your liquid diet? I start on 7/29

Congrats

I had initial psych eval with doctor, then 2 tests consisting of about 700 questions. All behavioral, but it took 3 hours to complete... Ugh...

Remember, this could be the nerves as well!

I think I'd slap my hubby hard before trying to communicate this is not advice though

Hi Nicole! I am actually amazed how mature you sound for 19years old. Taking care of your health is the best thing you can do for yourself! Good luck and welcome!

Lucky you, ladies! I am on 2 weeks of liquid diet i tried it out already and I do 7 am, 11, 4pm, 7pm... Sort of baby feeding routine I go officially on July 29 th.

My surgery is also August 12th. What a great date for you

Yay, just got my date!! August 12th!!! So happy I want to dance

Good luck I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and hope the therapy will help! You may want to look into support groups, my doc office has weight loss surgery support group that meets every 2 weeks.

hi Tammy, I was never skinny like you, but I really understand what you feel now! Stress is such awful thing, I know how it is, gaining weight from all the burden on your shoulders. I am sure you will grow stronger as the process goes and by the end of being pre-op, you'll be looking forward to live your life to the fullest! I am proud of you for taking your fate in your hands and everybody here are too! You know it by now, but this site is full of people ready and eager to help you with whatever comes your way Hugs!

I just got approval today! I'll be scheduling on Monday! So excited

Awesome!!! Congrats ))

Roar!!!, it has been 9 days already Still nothing

Great news! When will be your surgery?

Lol, i won't miss not being able to wear high heels because no standard heel is meant to bear 300 lbs... And ditto the rubbing thighs... And back boobs... And booth seats in the restaurants...

Blue Cross Blue Shield MN. I heard that BCBS are good in making decision fast, but it has been 5 business days my case and nothing yet...

Oh gosh, I know what you feel!!! I submitted last week and since 4th and 5th were days off, I am a nerve ball right now...

Thank you all for the encouragement! I know there Is nothing to be embarrassed about, but I dread people's looks and whispers behind my back. I work in large corporation and we sit in these darn cubicles... Nowhere to hide I guess I just need to embrace the challenge I personally am super excited for the surgery and I know I'll do we'll with it, my mind is set!
