So yesterday was my final NUT appt... This week i completed my cardiologist, pulmonologist, and surgeon clearance... On Monday my 6 months worth of pre-op will be submitted to my insurance for approval (or gasp, denial)... I'm just saying a prayer that it goes through and is approved because I start my pre-op diet next week! Can't believe how fast these 6 months have gone!!! Hoping to be living the banded life starting 8/5/13!!

Yes - date has been set for 3 months... I should find out this week if I'm approved and I'm terrified!! After all the prep I've done since January! Good luck next week!!! Can't wait to hear how you do!!

Congrats on that accomplishment...it is a lot of work getting the pre-op stuff done! Im finishing up my psych this tues and nutritionist next and then they will submit. It is nerve wracking hoping they approve it and quickly!

Oh I may have wrote that wrong then - it's always been 8/5 (3 weeks from tomorrow)... I'm so excited but I know this excitement bubble will be severely deflated if I get denied by insurance :-/ I'll keep you posted!!!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
