Hey all...how's everyone doing in the wonderful cold and yucky weather? Was super glad to have Abbie at the meeting last night. Wonderful information and love when everyone gets to talk.
Hope you all are staying warm and getting your Protein and Water in.

Glad people seem to be doing ok! I feel so behind since I haven't had surgery yet!
I had a bunch of pre-op work done yesterday... I can only imagine how much my bill is going to be after having 10-15 different blood tests, 2 urine tests, 2 chest x-rays, and an abdominal ultrasound. But, it's for a good cause!

I haven't posted much lately. My sleep study went well. Blood tests, chest X-ray and ultrasound on Thursday morning. Therapy appointment on January 31st. Hoping for surgery in March when I can (hopefully) have my out of pocket money saved up! On the right track, but very nervous for when they send my stuff to insurance.

Your BMI and a cooperative Primary Care Physician who can write a proper Recommendation (and maybe your GYN as well) should be enough. This is NOT a vanity-based decision, so they should be able to get you approved Before symptoms and other conditions arise.

With that high of a bmi it is unlikely they would deny you, my bmi was 64ish, I do not have any issues (blood pressure, sleep apnea, etc) if your worried you can talk with your center, they are generally honest with you if they think your case is a good candidate. I was a little worried too. I'm 3 days post op now.

I'm not sure yet Mindi. Feel free to add me on Facebook! My name is "Abbie Lynn" on Facebook.< /p>

Hi again all! I had my first consultation appointment on Tuesday the 22nd, and it went very well. I need to set up an appointment with a therapist to do my preop stuff, get a few preop tests done, and do a sleep test for the dr. I need to send in previous medical history so they can send in my stuff for insurance approval. If approved, I could have surgery in February or March!! But... I have to come up with my out of pocket cost the week before surgery, (at least 80% of it) which could be at a maximum of $1600.. Ugh.. Saving as much as I can...

I'm super nervous for my first consult on Tuesday! What should I expect at Glascock's office?? They said I could be there for up to 4 hours.

I'm going to Cedar Falls. ????

I have my first consultation on November 22nd in Cedar Falls, IA!
