Amazing!

Hello-same day as you! You are so young, I’m sure you’ll heal well. I’m 45 and should have done this 10 years ago!

I got my approval today, surgery 12/19. I didn’t tell anyone until I met with the surgeon and got the date. Then I told my Mom and husband. I still haven’t told my Dad or kids. My Dad will not be happy. I’m a 45 year old grown ass woman. I’ve been in this journey since May-I don’t want to hear any negative crap. @1badassbggurl so glad all went well.

Just got my date today-Dec 19th. Terrified but excited

So what if you have binged?

What's the first step? I've spoken to a center that does the surgeries. We've confirmed I'm eligible. The center has 3 months of meetings/classes (monthly) that take you through the process but t they can't fit me in until the end of August. The other option is to go through my PCP. I could be done with the 3 month required supervised diet/weigh in by then if I do it outside of the center. What does everyone do? I risk my PCP not submitting info correctly if I do it through him....? Thanks! (I'm 38.4 bmi, high bp, looking at RNY due to suspected GERD)

Oh my Lord-that's terrifying! I really hope things start turning around for you fast!

Hmmm I'm BCBS Fed and I'm just beginning this journey. I told the patient coordinator I have Hashimotos and she didn't say a word. So that could be grounds for denial?

How are you doing now?
