Hi I told my boss and co workers my plans for surgery. Feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. All of them are so supportive for me. Whew hoping you get your good news soon from insurance. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Mine was yesterday no test just asked questions like how long over weight, meds I'm on any history of drug, alcohol abuse what wax childhood like. What am I trying to do now to prepare for surgery. It was a nice visit and I was nervous too. He asked if I eat due to stress or emotions as well. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I tried calling them three times and they won't release any info on that topic with me. They tell me to call the surgeons office. They also won't say anything until my appt. So I gave up and will just wait. But I did start mtg with my PCP monthly anyways can't hurt anything. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
