I am a 24 now and I love shopping! I can't imagine anything below a 16!!!! Watch out world!!!

I agree. I have loved shopping regardless of my size!!!! They better watch me now. Lol

How are you feeling? I am (as I type this) sitting in the waiting room waiting to be called back for my EGD. I am getting nervous about the post op pain of when it comes time for the actual surgery and recoop time. Any comments?

I am actually doing quite well. The gas pain was hell at first, but I took those infant gas drops. They are great.

Despite 3 calls to my insurance company asking for the requirements for WLS, they still did not give me the correct answer. So after meeting with the insurance coordinator Wed, I was smart to start the 6 month pcp diet 2 months ago, and actually had my 3rd weigh in on Thur, so thats a bonus. Since Dr is in Pittsburgh and I am in Erie (2.5 hour drive) Dr said its ok to have my Pulm, Card, sleep testing and bloodwork done in Erie. I called to make those appointments and they require (not my insurance) me to get referrals from my Dr. Called surgeons office back, they told me the referral has to come from my PCP, now what sense does that make? GRRRR, but I called PCP and they will make the appointments for me, thank goodness. So all is going great. Looking like Nov/Dec-ish for the surgery, which I think is perfect. I have only told the mother in law and 1 BFF, so everyone else will get the "It's my new years diet" story. LOL

I have already called my insurance and i know for sure i dont have to do the 6 month program, but my BMI is only 39.1 and my dr said 40 is always almost automatic, however under 40 they look at how sick you are, i have several health issues so i am hoping it will be easy and fast
