Thank you!!

This is really hard! As I sit here and cry, I wonder why I let my self get like this and I have to go through extreme measures to get better. For anyone who says WLS is the easy way out, they kiss my ass!????

Yes, I finding that once I get home from work is the hardest.

Thanks everyone your words are very encouraging! I'm going to get through this!

It's been rough! If I can get through this. Surgery should be a breeze!

Thank you all for the encouraging words!

My date is October 2nd... I wish you all the best!!!

As I get closer to my date... Fear is in the back of my mind.

My date is October 2, I can be your buddy!

Carlagrant. Dr Minkin is very nice and very thorough. He takes his time and answered all my questions. The overnight stay in the hospital wasn't bad but my surgery was later afternoon and I should have stayed a second night. Felt queasy and crabby but it turned out fine. Make your. f/u appt with the nutrition nurse for the same day as your one week post op. Makes it easy. You can ask me any questions you have, I'm only 2 weeks out but doing good so far. Good luck!

I'm in St. Peter's mo

Happydales. I had a sleeve with dr. Minkin August 27th. Would love to chat and if this group meets I'd love to join you all. Still on full liquids but sure could use some experienced people to talk too.

My name is Sue. Thanks.

I'm so excited, anxious, nervous and everything else that comes along with it. I could not believe the call I got today after everything was submitted just Friday. She said your approved and let's pick your date. ????????. September 30th here I come.

Welcome! Carla if everything was submitted in July it seems like you should have had an answer by now. Have you called your insurance company for a status? You'd be amazed at what a call can do. I've read over & over in this forum how people called & were able to move things along. Just a thought.

Best of luck to you!

Congrats on your date! I get mine on the 7th. Keep us posted!

My time is getting closer, but it still feels so far away. I have been working on surgery since March and finally I have a date. October 2nd. I have an awesome support team that is ready to help me. I have to start preparing myself. I m excited and scared at the same time!

October 2, 2014 will be the date my life will change forever. I so happy!

Everything was submitted on July 15 and I'm still waiting. If only the insurance company knew what they where doing to me.... I'm 39, my bmi is 61, high blood pressure,etc.

My first time I have written. I have been reading and I am waiting on insurance approval. I have done everything that is asked of me. Just doing a lot of seating and waiting. I have different emotions about the surgery! But I am so ready!
