Im 245, in day 2 of pre-op diet. Will be sleeved in the 18th of Nov. What is a good goal? How much could I possibly lose before the new year? I want to make the best of my "honeymoon" period. I do best with goals

Im excited to live a healthy lifestyle..,i want to help others feel proud of themselves. I love working out but it has been so discouraging at my weight. Ready to start! 8 more days!!!

im in Silverdale...there seems to be a lot of people in here from our area

i live in Silverdale and wirk in Gig Harbor! Surgery scheduled for the 18th of November!

Im getting sleeved in two weeks..November 18th! So excited for this adventure

Im excited for high heel shoes....running with my husband....playing with my boys outside....cute jeans...corsets....and dancing! All these things I haven't done in so long because im embarrassed of how i look.

Im planning on staying on shakes for 2months or more if I can. I like using my vitamix to blend (a TINY amout of) straberries, banana or blueberries in with the vanilla protein and I actually like Premier Protiens Chocolate. Basically im going to be utilizing my vitamix for all my meals. Hoping this with make the most of my "tool"

Its has already, i feel like a huge weight has been lifted. So incredibly happy

So do you just ask your surgeon about injections? Or your primary care physician?

Im approved!!! Beyond excited!

I'm approved!!! Scheduled for the 18th. It sure does make tge pre op diet easier when you KNOW your getting rhe surgery

Im scheduled for the 18th, starting pre op diet tomorrow....still waiting to hear from insurance. So stressful!

I never heard you had to weigh less at EACH weigh in. I thought it was just first and last. I have Aetna as well and Im hoping thus isnt the case. I gained 1 pound at my 3rd weigh in but lost 9 overall....hmmm. Now im even more nervous

I sure hope so....also...didn't realize i posted the same thing twice.lol. shows you whats on my mind!

I had an Aetna case manager call me to go over time off/surgery after care/main meds/medical history. Is this a good sign? She said it just means Aetna got my paperwork....but why would they waste their time if I was denied...hmmm. Hoping for an answer this week!

Im so appreciative for you comments. Me and my family were doing great with a whole foods lifestyle change, i even ran a half marathon. But we mived and I got pregnant, husband got a new job and we both fell out of our healthy habits. He is back to it now. Ive always thought if surgery but never qualified insurance wise. since my BMI is 40 now after baby I jumped at the opportunity. I know having this tool is my key for success. I just wish I had an answer from insurance...this waiting thing SUCKS so bad! Im normally a very happy person, and all this is making me a stressed out depressed person, I hate not knowing my path. Hoping to hear something this week , i know they got my paperwork Wednesday

Thank you. Im praying, and trying to find peace as to focuse more on whats important. That snickers bar....not that important....laundry...it can wait. I need to take it once decision at a time

I am awaiting approval....having financial issues....work is KILLING me mentally right now...fighting with the hubby...new(er) baby....on and on. All i want to do is focus on ME but this stress is killing me. Im supposed to have started my pre op diet yesterday...i do well all day till i get off work. Ive binged each night. Sooo frustrated with myself. Scared. What will i do if i get denied? What will i do if I get approved? Any advice on how to calm the brain and focus on this weight loss?

My favorite stores are Khols and RUE 21....girly, lace, pizzazz, but office appropriate

I had an Aetna case manager (Nurse) call me. She asked a bunch of normal Dr questions and if i would have a driver, and support at home. Does this mean Aetna is going to approve me? Why would they assign a case manager to me if they were going to deny me? At least I know theyve received the paperwork....getting anxious. Any hints in what being assigned a Case Manager means?

im November 18th too!

i have your dame starting weight. Very excited to see how well you've done!

you have my starting weight! Seeing your results is exciting!
