ayyypapi

I am keeping it a secret for now. Only my parents, doctors, and insurance know about it. I did not even tell my sister, but I assume once I actually get the surgery, she will find out and I will tell certain people like close friends. My mom said to tell people I am going into surgery to get ovarian cysts removed, lol. I think I am just not going to say anything at all. What I do is my business. :smile:

My mom was the one who suggested it. She has been dropping hints about it for the past year and then when we first tried calling the insurance company about it , we got denied. Then my dad's plan changed and we are now approved. I went to the initial meeting still on the fence about it but everything just happened so fast and I got my date and a list of doctors to see on that first meeting. At first I thought I wasn't going to get it because all the doctors are like "you are easy, you are just really overweight but overall your health is great" (I'm not complaining!) I am still qualified for the surgery and that is all that matters. I have done a lot of research on it and I figure it will be best to do while I am still young and have good insurance lol. I can't wait! I think though that my mom is more excited for it than me lol, she makes all the appointments for me and all I have to do is just show up to the doctors, lol.

Mine was even easier. I was really scared going into it and it didn't even last 10 minutes!! The first three minutes he was on the phone with someone else and then he just asked about where I go to school, how is my home life, any history of sexual/alcohol/substance abuse in my immediate family, and my opinion on the surgery. It was so easy lol.

Congrats!! I find it so cool that you and your sister are going through this together. I wish I knew someone around my age who was doing it with me. (my sister is 14 and 90lbs lol so that wouldn't work!) My nutritionist gave me a sample of unjury and it was pretty good but I am buying the sample pack of nectar to see what I like. Nectar seems cheaper and they have more varieties plus a lot of people have said they are great. They have more tropical flavors which definitely sounds a lot better than "vanilla, chocolate, strawberry". lol. Good luck =].
