I had a one on one chat and I pass. Why I want to have WLS? Is my hubby ok with it? I answer I careless what he thinks I'm fat not him. He either accepts it or accepts it I'm not changing my mind.

Took my 565 question t or f test and go this Thursday for the results of that! Then just have to wait for surgeon to contact me with appt. Does anyone know if they usually schedule surgery date before insurance is approved? I have heard a few on here say they had date before approval! Was just wondering' date=' getting anxious to get this done! :)[/quote']

It's probably based on your surgeon but once I complete my requirements I get a tentative surgery date so my doc can get approval for surgery and precert for hospital stay. Once insurance approves I start my pre-op tests and my surgeon said if I get those done sooner than later they can play with the surgery date so I don't have so long to wait. Will be done my 6 month diet November 1st and praying for a 2013 surgery since my deductible will be met already!

I had the RNY surgery done 8 weeks ago. I am down 40 pounds, off all my previous medications (blood pressure and diabetes). I am having problems with my blood sugar being to high. I am not eating carbs. Anyone have similar problems?

Regarding the MMPI Test - It is a lot of repeat questions asked in different ways like: I drink alcohol every day. And. I drink more than 10 alcoholic beverages a week. It also asks what seem like kind of silly questions like: I would like to be a librarian. It's not hard. Just answer honestly. I just got the results of mine yesterday and its interesting how much it reveals about you. By the way - I passed with flying colors - nutritionist on Wednesday, then it goes to insurance. ALMOST THERE!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
