I got a date! February 4, 2008!!!

kaninag, from my experience you can't wait for the doctor office to do the follow up with the insurance company. It has to be done by you! Call them up, say my doc office was waiting on a call back...never got the call so I am following up....document who you talk to, what dept their in and time, and what the conversation was about.

oh wow. an enlarging heart is something to be extremely concerned about. Your doctor has probably encountered this before. If I were you I would do a free consultation with another surgeon don't say what the other surgeon suggested and just compare opinions. I will definitely keep you in my prayers so that he will bring forth the option that is best for you. please keep me updated.

I'll send good fast healing vibes your way.?!!!! ~~~~~~~heal~~~~ rest...rest...rest....

what the doc say?

sounds like a great start kanigag any word yet?

Thanks rumar, I do not eat any vegetables other than the ones on the list. You can eat up to 5 times daily up to 3oz each time. It is up to you how much you want 3oz or less. I have done this and broke plateau within 2 days!

Sunrise!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I AM VERY EXCITED FOR YOU~~~!!!!!!!! I have read PCOS gets better once you loose the weight. I would recommend you do more research. Remember bypass will give you the loss effect fast and drastically on your body. How does PCOS react to the bypass? Once you have lost the weight because of the malnutrition how long do they require you to wait to become pregnant? If you do become pregnant what are the statistics/research for PCOS and bypass patients during a pregnancy say? I don't want to be critical or take sides here. I am asking the kind of questions and answers I want evidence of if I were in your situation. And indeed I will pray that GOD gives you the revelation of what is best for you and your future family. I will try to look for some of these answers for you. If you want to talk feel free to PM me.

anyone have a good pre-op surgery list?

My pcp letter was awesome! He detailed my weight history, and determined future problems I am guaranteed to develop based on family history and current rate of weight gain. He also included documentation of all my records I provided him where he explained I have had sucess on self paid medically supervised programs the last 5 years....lost all my excess weight and reached normal even close to being underweight.....but never was able to maintain. All depends on the letters & reports your physicians make. Oh and my psychologist even thought he did not put his license number on the report and delayed me-I must say his report was excellent. He covered alot of ground as to current underlying conditions that we go thru being overweight that my pcp was not able to include. Have you submitted to insurance yet?

thanks Ruby & Kara!!!!!!! We shall all be loosers together!!!!.. yes..yes..yes...oh...yeah...doing a happy dance... oh and my last meal syndrome left!!!! now I am actually being extra cautious today about the choices I made. I am so proud of myself....yes...its a start back!

yes but the wait now doesn't bother me that much the insurance waiting game did! ughguughgh....I still say they are evil!!

Hi there everyone! I was finally approved yesterday. Looks like I will be a February bandster as well. Yeah StLouisGal!

I received a call from the surgeon's office. She will be calling me next week to schedule the dietician appt, another doc consult and anesthesiologist pre-op something or the other.... So it looks like I will be a February bandster.
