I started my 6 months today and my dietician said that I only have pre diabetes. I saw a hematologist a couple years ago and he said I have diabetes..my insurance requires you to have diabetes to be approved..my dietician said that some doctors consider pre diabetes diabetes..now I had to get pre approved and send in my app to the bariatric center at my seminar before I could see my surgeon and get started..it says on the paper to not bother applying if you are under 18, below 35 BMI and don't have diabetes, over age 71 and or a BMI of over 71 and yet I was accepted and my insurance approved all of my pre op appointments..so I'm confused but my dietician made me nervous...I called and left a message with my doctors nurse to find out how she is wording my diabetes situation..I'm hoping to hear soon but my doctor is always booked and busy...also super nervous about my psyc test..I should hear back from the team in a few weeks..ugh this **** stresses me out..I want this more than anything!

Hopefully you will hear from them soon so you can put to rest some of your worries and concerns! Hoops to jump through, I had a lot to jump through myself...but in the end it was all worth it. Keep your head up and keep moving forward!!! Good luck with everything! :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
