Psyched

How did your psych eval go? Mine totally drained me! I had to take a 600 question eval after I spoke with the doctor. It was exhausting. My pulmonary appointment isn't until the 27th. I am still waiting on all of the other appointments to start rolling in. I also had the three month medical weight loss that I had to complete. I go in for my second weigh in on the 28th. I am hoping to have all of these evals completed by my 3rd and final weigh in in September. When will you finish your 3 months? Progress is so exciting!

Congrats on all of the progress you have made! Let's keep one another updated on progress. It's exciting and encouraging to watch others and to encourage others along the way!

Sounds like you have gone through plenty. I'll be praying for you. Congrats on coming this far inspire of. Keep us updated!

Yep, Pugmom! Even if I did not have hypertension, I would still feel the exact same way, as I just prefer the thorough approach. So, we definitely agree. Whatever hoop they place in front of me I am going to graciously and thankfully accept. I guess too, I look at it like it's not just me. My husband and children are on this journey with me, and so I am perhaps driven a bit by that too. Nevertheless, congrats on your steps forward. Let's be sure to keep the updates going!

I LOVE her too; however, her death too was tragic and heartbreaking, not in the same way, but it still really saddens me. As far as "those" times... I am a bit of a vet myself and the people who would go on to parent me, didn't know it and hadn't even thought of me or one another probably! I am just a fan of great music, no matter then genre or time.

Don't forget Marvin!!! Marvin Gaye that is.

I am having the sleeve. I actually look at the clearances a little differently... better safe than sorry type of deal, while knowing you cannot plan for everything, I appreciate the thoroughness of the process, putting in the work for it on the front end will likely help you value it even more if that's even possible . Also, I have some medical issues, but ummm, I WANNA LIVE, so yeah... TEST ME. HA!

In the beginning it seems like it will take soooo long, and sometimes it does for some, but for others it doesn't. I have to complete just 3 months of supervised weight management and I go in for my second weigh-in in less than 3 weeks now. I am focused on losing my required ten pounds and not gaining under any circumstance. I had my psych eval today and that was after I had been scheduled with another doctor and then received a TEXT from one of the staff members saying something about my insurance and they thought it looked strange and if I wanted to use my insurance, I would have to wait an additional week and a half (on top of the two weeks I had already waited for the appointment in the first place) while they receive prior authorization. I was not happy. All of that should have been taken care of during the two weeks I've been waiting to even get in. She stated that the doctor would call first thing the next morning, which was the morning of my appointment (Tuesday). He did not. I didn't sweat it. Wednesday morning I called another doctor, he got me scheduled for first thing this morning. Less than 48 hour turn around time. He will have my results sent in no later than Monday. He's been doing it 17 years and is sensitive to the fact that it is a time sensitive process. Thankful for him. Sleep study appointment is scheduled and I am sure they will continue coming in. So, my aim is to get all of the many tests and clearances knocked out as quickly as possible by taking the first available openings. I've put in so much time researching and studying that the process seems longer. I still spend a lot of time researching and reading. I am thinking I will land towards the middle of October, maybe the first of November and I am fine with that. Though if it does go into the first of November I may move it a week, as my husband and I plan to take a trip for our anniversary. Anyway, Congrats on your progress!!! Definitely keep updating us.

Thanks for taking the time out to share! That's extremely helpful. I had been wondering about the eval; mine is Tuesday. I am excited to have it done and move on. Thanks again.
