I started this journey a couple months ago. Hit a speed bump when my first mammogram showed a grape size mass. Had a biopsy its benign thank the good Lord. My mom died from it and my grandpa had it too. I need this weight off for my health and my families too. Had my surgical consult. My psych eval is scheduled as is my swallow study and fitness and nutritionist. I am blessed to have UHC on a low deductible and they cover it all at 80/20 with oop max at 1750$. Waiting is the tough part, all visits will be done by next week as will the closing of the short sale on my home. Damn what a year it has been and 2013 will start me off as a new woman! Comments support are welcome as I take this scarry road. Luckily I have a loving husband and beautiful 4 year old daughter.Congrats to us all on this journey"

Is that your daughter? She's beautiful!

Glad to hear all is ok with the mammogram- yes waiting is the hardest part . But it goes fast.

Keep us posted as things progress!

Yes that is my daughter and thank you so much for the support!

Hi all! Yes, the waiting is TORTURE! I'm getting sleeved on 10/15 and cannot wait for my new life to start....

Hi newbie I am hoping to be sleeved in November! I just a barium swallow done today! It truly was the most disgusting thing I have ever drank! I did awesome they said too! They have never had someone drink both cups so fast and keep it down. Once again my determination is boiling over. I had this done because I had an endoscopy done last year due to polyps in my stomach causing me severe pain. I really cannot to meet my bariatric coordinator on Monday and accomplish the psych eval and fitness visit next Thursday. Then all that's left is my nutritionist and we submit to insurancr for the pre certification! Smooth sailing is ahead and I am pumped! Thanks to all watching this thread and caring. Support is keeping me motivated as well as a brighter future free from the restraint of this weight! I can conquer the world without it! You will all bear witness! BTW my name is Tiffany!
