  1. My Surgery date is Nov 3 OMG only a week to go:w00t: My emotions are all over the place, people keep asking me if I'm nervous and I think I'm still in shock I know the day before I won't be able to sleep but I'm so ready for this change.:tongue: Good Luck to you!
  2. Like you I also have skinny friends and with lots of love I call them skinny bitches LOL so I just told them and they understood specially my best friend she was happy because she knew what this means to me and this will make me healthier. So be honest and explain to them what this mean to you and they will understand and if they don't just remember this is your decision and you doing it for yourself to them. Good Luck!!!

  4. If you don't meet your deductable they will sent you a regular bill and you will pay the deductable.
  5. Congrats!!!! I go in 11/03 so we are just day apart. Good Luck!!!!!
  6. Well I don't know what insurance you have and they are all different, as for me I have Blue Cross Blue Shield and I also have to meet the $1,200 deductable so I don't have to pay for anything. I don't know about your surgeon but mine asked me to get clearance from other Doctors and between all that, the test and lab they asked for I meet my deductible.
  7. Hello! After I got done with my sleep test I got the sticky residue and I took it off with some acetone. Good Luck!!!!
  8. Hi Brittney! Like you I thought long and hard about getting the surgery and after countless diets such has programs, pills and special food. I did lose some weight but I always gain it all back and sometimes more, like you I got sick and tired of being overweight and decided to get the surgery. My surgery is set for Nov 3 and I know this is just a tool and I have to work hard but hey the results are going to be great. So my opinion to your question is that if you are ready to commit GO FOR IT GIRL!!!!! :grouphug: Take Care!
