Hi B Annie my surgery is May 25, and today I have to meet at my surgeons office for a education class and then meet with my actual surgeon after that for any last minute questions - he is sooooo nice then I go next door to the hospital to register, blood work, and ekg,

Hi Nana - you encourage me - my bypass is the 25th of May - currently on my liver reduction diet -

Beautiful - what is your goal weight

Hello everyone I have submitted all of my paperwork my blood work my car cardiovascular pulmonary test my psych evaluation everything is good then my patient administrator tells me that I have to get another letter from my doctor that simply states I am cleared from a pulmonary and cardiac standpoint. But yet it shows in the x-rays that my pulmonary and cardiac exam normal. Then to top it off I was to have my nutrition A briefing yesterday and I was about 15 minutes late the reason why is because there was a 10 pack car crash and I was held up in traffic and by the time I got to the office even the receptionist was in the same accident and she even confirmed with the nutritionist that yes there was a car crash she still did not see me and now I have to wait until April to see her. I'm not whining I'm a veteran who served our country I am just a little upset about how The processing of some of the paperwork can be so tedious. I am 42. BMI, my doctor wrote a wonderful letter that share that I have been struggling with weight for the past 12 to 15 years from weight watchers to phentermine, and now I am at 42 BMI, on top of that I have hypertension and to close it out I am 47 years out I am not one of these young girls trying to get some new body I am 47 years old trying to make sure I sustain the rest of my life any advice motivation I would greatly appreciate today. My surgeon is wonderful - he specifically told me in February that he wanted to try to get me complete it in within three months because I have Tricare prime-it just seems like these little pushbacks is what's making it take a little longer

Thank you

Hi Fam - completed checklist - everything from psyc pulmonary, cardiac, blood, dietitian, seeing my surgeon, just for my paperwork - still sitting on the desk in my surgeons office - called but I all I get is processing. I called my I insurance before this journey and they shared decisions made within a week. Why do I feel that my insurance will approve faster than what my current situation is. #bmi 40 #tired and ready

Congrats congrats congrats I know it's a great feeling I should be right behind you my navigator should be Smitty my paperwork on Monday got a question your date of surgery is that the date that your doctor gave you or is that the date that your insurance company gave you

I'm in the same boat ladies I called my insurance company and they haven't received anything from my doctor yet so hopefully Monday when the POC that is due to submit it will be back and hopefully time will whine down I talk to my insurance company and they said that once they receive it they have 3 to 5 business days. To process it so I'm just as excited myself I've carried this weight for the past 19 years and I am being as patient as I possibly can with GOD's help.

Sis - enjoy you and your life [emoji173]️

I hope to - on my 19th anniversary- I have completed everything and on the 6th of April I see the dietician and I see my doctor right after that appointment because I switch from sleeve to bypass.

My last check off will be with the dietician

Me also
