Hi everyone. I just want to introduce myself to the group. I am gogogirl....lol I am presleever. This journey is starting and ending with God. I have Kaiser Permanente Insurance. I made the decision to have the sleeve less than a month ago, was able to get a doc appt the next day and was refered to bariatrics that day. I just had my Options orientation session, my body analysis, and my first class over the last couple of days. I am about 3 weeks in and have gone through the first 2 hurdles. As far as I can tell, there are 4 with Kaiser on their part. The next 2 are getting a referral from my Options Instructor and then the O'k from my surgeon who I have not picked yet. I have my choice of 3, one of which received Surgeon of the Year so I think he will be my pick. I dropped about 5 pounds before my initial official weigh in and officially have dropped 2 since my start of Options. I need to lose 10% so let's just say 22 pounds to be considered for the surgery, as well as making all of my classes, doing all of my labs, and whatever else they ask me to do. I got this. To think this is the LAST time I will have to do this without the edge of the sleeve is giving me a great deal of resolve. Anyway, Hello everyone. Please stop by and say hello and introduce yourself. I am not telling too many folks in my circle so I hope to make a new one here.

How are your classes going Rebecca?

I have finished the sleep study and the psych evaluation. The office said they sent all the info to BCBS today, so now the waiting begins...

How are you doing?

Doing ok. In my 7th of my 12 weeks of classes for surgery prep. It will probably be 5 to 8 weeks before I get my surgery date so doing the waiting game too.
