    bangbangbarbie got a reaction from InspirationMySon in 19 days (cue DUN DUN DUNNN)   
    I know it may not be a HUGE deal- but in 19 days I will have my first appointment necessary for surgery.
    There, we will discuss what my best option is and ...
    THIS IS THE BEST PART!
    Because I have been a good girl and really proactive, I have already:
    -taken the workshops
    -completed packet
    -blood work done
    -psych eval done
    -sent letter of recommendation from physician
    -every other little damn thing!
    Sooo, ideally- I will meet with everyone 2/5, and because they don't have to wait on anything, send off my information to my insurance co for pre-auth!
    That means by this time next month, I could be told YES-- even better, scheduled ASAP.
    Ahhh I'm so excited, but so so nervous all of this work will mean nothing if my insurance says no.
    I'll keep y'all updated!

    bangbangbarbie got a reaction from My Bariatric Life in The honest truth about saggy skin post surgery   
    Hi, I am 25 and hoping to be approved for a bariactric surgery. I am 235-240 lbs and 5'4" so I am right at 40BMI. At this point I have scheduled my first appointment (Feb 5th) and I am hopeful for acceptance from my insurance company. I am curious at how you would honestly classify your body one year post surgery. I do intend to make serious changes to my lifestyle, including eating healthier and working out. I am hopeful that at my age, and considering that I only just meet the criteria for surgery, that I will not experience a lot of sagging after the surgery. Does anyone have any experience with it? Does working out help the process? Does anyone have a story where they were a similar weight and could provide some insight?
    Any and all comments and opinions are welcomed!
