Yes!
I was the girl for many years that said "I never get cold and I am always hot!" And I was always hot. I live in Arizona and we don't get much of a winter but even when the temps would dip in the 40's I would keep a window open. Otherwise I would burn up under covers while trying to sleep, in the kitchen while cooking or even just lounging on the couch watching TV. I never understood people who wore slippers around the house or socks to bed.
Guess what? I put layers on while hanging out around the house, I put slippers on and wear socks to bed. I feel like I can never get warm enough!

My date is Feb 17!
I was just approved late yesterday and my bariatric coordinator called this morning!

Hello all!! I am new here too!! I have been reading posts for a long time but this is my first post!
I met with my surgeon on Wednesday this week. I had initially decided that the sleeve was what I wanted. After talking with the surgeon and going over my history, he suggested bypass for me. I have a long history of GERD and he said that many times, the sleeve makes that worse. I am a bit nervous about bypass but trust my surgeon. I had my first weigh in and supervised diet appointment yesterday. (I too have a 6 month supervised diet requirement for my insurance..BCBS). All of my other appointments are scheduled...NUT, psych, sleep study and the next 5 PCP appointments. I am nervous but excited. Changing surgeries has me a little overwhelmed!!! ????

Congrats! It's a super exciting time. I had the bypass almost 4 months ago. Feel free to friend/message me if I can help you with anything.

Welcome to the forum. Make sure you ask all of the questions you may have. I think all of us are excited and nervous.

Hi Jess! You can text me anytime! I am 7 weeks post op. 602-684-1027

I'm also in AZ and working on pre-op stuff. I have BCBS Highmark, not sure how similar our plans are, but so far it seems pretty straight forward. I am working on my 6month supervised diet now and hope to be looking at February. Longer than I wanted to wait, but I'll survive. Other than that I have to do evals for cardiac, psych, & nutrition. Plus classes through the center. Fingers crossed it all goes smooth, for both of us!

Welcome! I don't have your insurance but I just wanted to say that I'm also being pretty private about it and it's been great being on boards as a release so I can talk about it. Good luck!
