I weighed in on Friday and finally made the weight I needed to be in for surgery to be covered by insurance ( I was just a few pounds shy with no other ailments) so I'm now at 40 percent BMI and my paperwork is being submitted to insurance I should know in less than two weeks if I get approved and can schedule my surgery... its a waiting game and it stinks but at least I'm moving ahead! I've never been so scared or so excited to be cut open I've never been admitted to a hospital, and generally have severe anxiety attacks so hopefully I don't give them too much grief lol especially when I go in for my upper GI. I have several friends that have either had a bypass or lap band but only one friend that has had the vertical sleeve she has lost almost a hundred pounds in 4 months. She's been a really good of a motivator through this whole process and it just so happens she's a nurse at the hospital where she got her surgery done.

Congratulations I hope you get approved :-)

Congrats:) Hope all works out for you!

I got my upper GI scheduled today for a week from Thursday!!

Well my upper GI was pushed one week so now it's on Thursday. One step closer

Congrats to you! Wish I was that close... I have one more clearance... A pshyc elval then I will have my appt. to go in that is tomorrow. I'm gettin closer and closer. I'm so ready!
