Who Would Have Thought....



Recommended Posts

I have to say I am surprised by my reaction to getting the call today with my approval and surgery date. The tears just started flowing after getting off the phone. I didn't realize I was so on edge about it. I am so happy and can hardly wait, would have liked an earlier date but my surgeon is going to be gone for the last two weeks of the month. So Feb 13th is my day! I hope the next five weeks just whiz by! Anybody else out there with Feb dates? Time to look into starting a new group...Fab Febs?

Congrats on getting your date, I'm hoping to join the FAB FEB'ers LOL

All of my paperwork was submitted to the insurance company on 12/28 so now it is just a waiting game for me. They said it usually takes 4 weeks for approval, but the dr's office told me to call them daily to check on my status (I guess if they get tired of hearing from you, they will approve you) LOL.

I was hoping to get the surgery at the beginning of Feb, but it looks like it will be towards the middle because of the 10 day pre op diet. Oh well, I am closer than I have ever been and just thankful that I have found this site to talk with others about this process.

I think I was not so much surprised but expecting it. Probably because I had done so much research on Aetna's policies, and had bombarded them with documentation that it was like, "they BETTER" approve me.... lol. You still have some doubt wondering if there was some little thing you missed. Luckily for me, I got my approval in a few days..

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
