Looking for VSG friends! I am just starting the process so I wont be actually going through revision until Feburary 2013, I made a Facebook page, I'm in need of advice, encouragement and reassurance that the sleeve and revision is the right choice!

Good morning! Hope everyone had a nice Christmas! To Finallymj: for my blog best to start at www.queenofcrop.com/about From there you can start at the beginning in October of 2011 and go forward, or read the last post. I post every Sunday but this next Sunday will be my last for a while. Also, be sure you have youg Signatures turned 'ON" in your settings on this forum. The reason is so you can see the links to people's blogs in each post, and their ticker tapes if they have one.

Good luck everyone....you are all in for a FABULOUS journey!!!!

Hey everyone! Hope everyone had a great holiday!! Sorry I've been off the map sense then! A little update on me.. I have my last appointment for my 90 pre required visits on February 21st! Had my sleep study on Friday the 18th, get my results next Thursday the 31st, so I will find out if I have apnea or not! But then I will just need to wait ,-) once I have my appointment on the 21st, they will submit for approval, I don't need the co morbitities because of my bmi and my doctors office has only had 3 denials in the past 2 years, and they even have an on staff mediator person who will fight your insurance if it is denied so, still hoping all goes well with approval process. So as of yesterday I have 30 days until my submission! I joined the gym and have been going approx 3 times a week for an hour each visit. Other then that, just living and working.

Hi rxtine....did I read your post right? You really had to go to 90 pre required visits? That's crazy! QofC

Hi RXtine!

I am scheduled for feb. 5. I am VERY excited! I will be following you on FB to track your progress!

I might of written that funny! My insurance requires 90 days of pre required nutrition visits. So it's one visit a month so three visits and then the 4th and final required visit is on or a few days after my 90 days! Basically I meet with my nutritionist and we set goals and talk about eating better and what not. It's easy just long process!

Hey Jackie! How are things? I haven't been on here much! But looks like you had surgery today! How was it?! Can't wait to be on your side of the losers bench! What are your starting stats etc?

Hey Liz! How are things going? Did you get approved!! ??

Welcome! I'm Christine & was sleeved on 9/17. Best decision of my life. Started 2 day pre- op at 267. Day of surgery 262 & today almost 8 weeks out 218! So happy you're joining us!

How are things going Christine? Are you on FB? How much have you lost now?! I'm so excited and nervous.

Welcome...

I am pre-op...started this WLS journey in July. I just finished my CPAP study on Halloween and go to the Pulmonary Specialist today. I just got my surgery date which is January 21st. So happy because I can't believe it is finally going to be here. So far on this journey I have lost 44 pounds by cutting out all processed and sugary foods and exercising for 45 minutes four times a week. I have found an abundant amount of information on this forum as well as many great people to chat with. Good luck to you !!

Hey! How was surgery?! How are you feeling! Pain? Experiences? Good job on -44 lbs! That's amazing! Are you in FB also?
