I so understand the delima I was 17yrs when I got married been with the same man for 34yrs. He treats me just like that. I even carry is food to him in the man's cave (as they like to call it). I had surgery on my thumb in January wasn't supposed use it for 6weeks. He got tired working and coming home and having to take care of cooking. He brought food home one day and threw food on the table and said there it is. It definitely was a different time and for some us a do it to the end kind of girl but we do need that respect and love ourself enough to speak up in confidence. Glad you have come a long way and learned that your special too. Glad you have your fur babies.

Oh, and even though I had a real sweet tooth before surgery, I get tired of sweet things now.

Same thing my Provider told me. So waiting for appointment to find out if he things I can. I think I messed up when I said I was an emotional eater plus told ate late ar 2am. Already have the bipolar thing but hopefully I passed.

We can be the harshest person to ourselves. We get enough negative from those around at times and it we are not positive we may believe their lies. We get upset our letting our body and health get so bad. We lose weight then it's the loose skin and things we have to work out in or lives even emotionally. Try to keep this post in mind and speak positive everyday. Get going tell us great things about you.

Hi Kassandra! My name is Beth, I am 41 years old, married with one fabulous daughter and two awesome Beagles. I'm 5'6" and my current weight is 265 lbs. I started this journey in December when I was diagnosed with NAFLD and weighed 296 lbs. I'm fairly lucky to not have additional comorbidities, but a series of bad falls resulting in ankle injuries and surgery for a herniated disc have been my wakeup call. My doctor says I'm too young to be this disabled. I tend to agree. I just finished my approval checklist on Friday and have a tentative date of June 7 for a VSG. Come on, BCBS, make it happen!

That sounds hardcore but if you found your way to a community that supports you *ahem* us... You must be one smart cookie 😍 so I bet you did just fine

So it sounds like I'm up next. I report tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m. with show time at 8:30. I think I'm ready. Just bustling around the house, trying to get things in order. My daughter is sleeping over with the grandparents so she can sleep in. I started this journey in December and it felt so far away. The last two weeks sped by. I'm ready for this next chapter with my fabulous new sleeve. Wish me luck!

I had my evaulation I will get my results in the next 2 wks. The little consultation of how much you know about the Gastric Sleeve, the diets you done in the past and your support system, it was ok. Then came this stupid paper test. It was like I was back in school. I had several packets that were shade in the circles, types of tests, never did good with tests. It was math type questions and reading. I guess if your not smart, your not smart enough to follow the diet. Then did a personality type test, then a mental. The quiz, test whatever you want to call it. Let's call it a questionnaire, I don't know it took 2hrs. I felt like my brain was about to bust. I am not sure how I did.

If your insurance doesn't need an approval from Primary doctor. Then you can go to any mental health office. I am glad the Bastric doctor recommended me to a physician. I have my own therapists and medical provider in which she said she will not approve anyone, so bypassed that. Good luck finding the right physcian.

Hey Briswife, they asked me on my first visit if I was Bi-Polar? Worried for months until I saw that person again, turns out it was just a part of her questionaire,just like that blasted Depression one they keep giving me-- I wish they would stop. " How many times this week have you thought about killing yourself?" Will they be disappointed if I haven't? Like the old joke
Person #1 So what did you do this weekend? Person#2 Why? What did you hear?

there are a lot of people with bipolar disorder who've had WLS surgery...

Hi. I have Bipolar disorder type 1, and a past history of anorexia, so I was very worried as well about not getting approved. It went very well, and I wad approved. All the psychiatrist wanted to know was if I was stable on my meds. (I was, and I never had any manic episodes), and if I had support for after the surgery. I was completely honest with her, and it went fine. Best of luck to you!

Yay! I just got approval from the bariatric department! Apparently they immediately reissued the request after it was denied. Apparently, they just needed more from my doctor. So I’m back on track.
