had my pre-op final appt today with the surgeon and the nutritionist. I can't believe my surgery is two weeks away! Picked up all my shakes, soups and bars for my pre-op diet which starts on Wednesday. So close now!!

took a water aerobics class last night which I have to admit always thought was for old people LoL but it was actually a lot of fun and a great workout!! Had my 2 hour pre-op class today. Monday is my pre-op appt with the surgeon then its two weeks of Optifast...fun fun!!

Went to my first support group meeting last night. I now know all about knee and hip replacements LoL! It was great to finally met va_viv though!!

Hey there! Thanks for your comment! Good luck with the process...I know it can be frustrating!

I don't know what got into me this weekend but I seem to have eaten everything in site. I guess I just had a realization that I start my pre-op diet in a week so I just went a little crazy. Oh well, starting fresh tomorrow and trying not to be mad at myself.

Switched gym memberships last night from Gold's Gym to Lifetime Fitness. I'm so excited because they have two trainers who have gone through bariatric surgery!! Hoping to kick things off right!

Got the call this morning...I'M APPROVED!! YAY!!! March 16th surgery date!! I'm so excited!!

finally got fed up today and drove to my PCP's office, picked up a copy of all my paperwork and the letter then drove it over and dropped it off at my surgeon's office. So hopefully they will submit everything to insurance tomorrow. Now the real waiting game begins!!

this whole process is going to give me a freakin heart attack!! Finally got the clearance letter from my PCP with one problem...they didn't write in it that IM CLEARED!!! WTF!? So now they have to redo it. Thank God I have a massage tonight...I need it!!

So I called my PCP today and they said the sent everything over to my surgeon's on Monday. Called the surgeons and they said they don't have a single thing! No test results, no letter, nothing!! Called back to the PCP and they said someone will have to call me back! GRRRR!!! So seeing as how its now almost 5pm that means this crap won't even get taken care of til Monday!! At this rate I MIGHT be banded in March. Geez! :/

Thinking about you!! I hope your surgery went great and you are resting comfortably!!

can't believe I am STILL waiting on my PCP to write my freakin medical clearance letter. This is getting so frustrating and it hasn't even gone to insurance yet. Guess I have to start making calls tomorrow and getting on people's a$$!!

What a crazy week! Between travel for work and making my testing appts its been a bit stressful!! I'm happy to say though my final round of pre-op testing is done. Just waiting on them to send it to my PCP and for her to write my medical clearance letter. Then the big waiting game begins with insurance.

Half way there...had my bloodwork done and EKG. Now just have to do my UGI and chest xrays next week. This process is taking forever. If I'm lucky I'll be banded by the end of February!!
-
Have my appointment tomorrow with the PCP for all my pre-op testing. They won't write my medical clearance without doing all the testing first...good grief! Oh well at least it will be out of the way

so annoyed...just got a call from my surgeons office and I need to do an additional one hour consult with the nutritionist which they don't have any open appts for until 2 weeks from now!! They also need a medical clearance from my PCP...my PCP is being a pain about it and won't write the letter until I do all my preop testing. This is such a frustrating process. Grrrrr
-
last nutrition class this morning...now the waiting game begins. They are submitting everything to insurance this week but it could take up to four weeks for a decision. Keeping my fingers crossed for a fast approval!!
