wowmelissa

I wish i myself had thought of this i just was doing the regular appointment but now im glad because your right i dont ha e huge issues YET but my knees are going and my feet swell and im guessing i may have sleep apnea. ..i talked to my insurance today and the were just like submit the request ...thats it i asked d or more info the say request the procedure then we will see what needs to be done ...smh annoying i thought thats what had been done...ugh i guess we are back to the basics

Lol i have a fav Water bottle ...and i have a strick diet and water intake now due to a Migraine medication and i am good at following schedules and routines. ..i think i am a very huge mess in the mind department as u said a mile a minute man maybe if i had considered surgery before i had walked in that day..do you know how i might go about finding out more about my insurance qualifications. .i read everything i could find and called them they basically said i would find when my pcp applied ugh i dont want a huge let down but i did read that the higher bmi get easier results

I'm 37 and have no health issues other than PCOS and aches and pains. My BMI was about 44 but I'm down to around 40 now. (It's a requirement to lose weight before my surgeon would schedule a date)

My RNY is tomorrow. (!!!)

I looked at it this way... So I do it now when I'm healthy and lower risk? Or so I wait until I'm sick and have more chance of complications. I choose now.

Additionally, when doing research I looked to see what people regretted about the surgery. I wanted to see if they could go back, would they do it again. By far, and I mean really--BY FAR, the only regret that people had was that they didn't do it sooner.

oops i responded to you in vomment if youd like to read it ..lol just figuring this out:D

I too have no underlying health issues. Good luck on your journey. I am meeting my surgeon on Thursday to get my date!

Good luck skc72... have you started your preop diet ? What kind of research have you done? Waiting ?insurance etc... im very nervous on the wait and insurance fronts..

Does this put me into the pain in the ass for my family category. .because ill be eating baby size portions and protien shakes while i am sure i will also then be as i am no looking at everyones portions even tho healthy a little closer.. i am not scared about the after effects in which i can prevent like dumping and the blocking but ...just dehydration and being tired...which i know will have to be worked through..anyways sorry this is so long ..i have done way to much research and reading and videos and browsing because i wasnt looking for surgery my dr said it was the only option left or wait for the health issues to start im 35 and i have zero health issues ..thus far *knock on wood* ..so here i go ready and willing.. but please can i have a shoulder or ear please!
