It's so refreshing to have a site like this. to release, express and rejoice!! i am Tatyanah mom of my 2 year old beautiful Irieanah and proud wife!
today was an amazing day for me! my 5th dietician appointment and 2nd support group meeting was tonight!
i actually found out today that i have PRE diabetes and high cholesterol. something i've never had in my life. it's funny because my deitician read the comments from my PCP to me and it said....would prescribe meds but patient is getting bariatric surgery next month.
i couldn't be more ecstatic for my sleeve now that it's getting closer. i have two appointments left then..submitting to the insurance!!!!
im down another 3 pounds but still a LONG LONG way to go. the support group was really inspiring tonight too. we met a lady who lost over 100 pounds since last year! i got emotional watching her power point and hearing her story. she talked about her fears and how she harassed her surgeon (which happens to be mine as well) and how she knew all the risks before even getting surgery. which i'm sure we all do.
but its a risk i'm willing to take to feel healthy and confident and happy!!!
i got reassurance that my insurance (Husky A Connecticut-Medicaid) based on my bmi, and minor health issues and weight loss not drastric but still sufficient that i'll have no problem getting approved. don't want to get my hopes up but i'll keep the faith.
really excited to start my journey and my last dietician appointment is SEPTEMBER 5TH!!! everyone pray that this goes by fast for me:) ur all wicked supportive and love this site!!!!
