    Midnightsun got a reaction from rs in Not looking for advice! I just need to vent.   
    Just went to my stepsons graduation and it was outside. I wore jeans, Sandals and a nice top, my husband jeans and polo type shirt. His mother wasn’t dressed up but the stepfather had a suit. Their were people in shorts and t’s to suits and ties. They aren’t going to remember what you wear just if you are there. They only get so many tickets feel honored he considers you one of the most important people in his life to give you a ticket. Also think of it this way, you will only be wearing whatever you buy a few times before it is too big. You are a cute lady you can find something to wear!

    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.

    My surgery is scheduled for 7/8/19. My final weigh in is 6/18. I am in the 35 BMI so juggling to keep above 35 BMI and below what I was at last weigh in. We went to a nice homemade Italian restaurant and had manicotti, had a cupcake and a couple Cookies yesterday. Told my husband if he wants to eat out this is the week. I just want a good piece of cake...the bakery I got the cupcake and cookies from were not that good. Lol. I will be getting me some spicy Asia food! As that is my favorite! Hoping I can still enjoy spicy when this is done.

    I am suppose to have surgery 7/8/19 I only told my husband. Maybe after surgery I will let my sister and close friends know? Idk, but I made up my mind and don’t want anyone talking me out of it. Do what you feel is best for you. Not anyone’s business about your personal doctor appts.

    I am in the same boat. Put on a couple to be 203 so last appt showed a 2lb weight loss so now 201. My last appt is 6/18 so looking to be 1lb down. I am 5’3 so I cannot lose much.. I have Blue Cross insurance so I am concerned if they take in account the weight loss from liver shrink diet on the day of surgery or not. Last appt I had to have keys in pocket, shoes on etc because it was 2 days after colonoscopy and endoscopy.
    Anyone forced to use cpap or not surgeon won’t do surgery?

    I just had mine. It was pretty lame. Asked why I wanted surgery, I explained about my psoriatic arthritis, fibromyalgia and my autoimmune issues. He saw my list of meds... said you take a lot of medications. I said yes that’s why I need this surgery. Asked about family supporting me, asked about depression, if abused or was ever in an abusive relationship. Asked if financial hardships, ever think or attempt suicide. Done in 15 minutes.

    Midnightsun got a reaction from MrsGamgee in CPAP Compliance- possibly switch Surgeons   
    Hi,
    I am set to have sleeve surgery 7/8/19. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea through the pre testing. It is moderate I believe. I am told the surgeon will not do surgery unless you comply with the cpap for a month prior to surgery. I have psoriatic arthritis and fibromyalgia so when I put the nose pillows on they irritate me as well as the face straps, I also move a lot with the arthritis pains and I am finding it near impossible to wear it. When I do manage to sleep with it on I wake up an hour later feeling like I am drowning or something. I don’t want to miss out on surgery but I cannot do this. I have a message for surgeon to call me but the assistant on the phone was pretty rude about compliance. Do you know of alternatives or if I can switch to a different surgeon and not lose my 2 months into this program? Feeling stuck. I am 5’3 and 201 at 53 years old. I need this for my autoimmune issues and hate to lose it.
