  • Im sure you are absolutely right. I'm sure many back out. The impatient side of me wants it done NOW but in reality, the wait is for the best for most being it is a life long change to our God given b

For the first time in years I'm not hosting thanksgiving at my house so I think that'll help me not eat as much. I'd love someone to go through this with. Had a nightmare about the surgery last night.. I went under and woke up amd said I want McDonald's... but I couldn't have it.. I know that's what's going to happen.. but it seemed like the end of the world in my dream.. creepiness...

I have had some weird dreams too. One day I woke up sooo mad at myself.. I can remember it was about the surgery and food but no idea what haooened but I was in a terrible mood that morning! I hatr that this has to be around ths holidays and not for me but my husband and well mainky daughter I know she is only 1 and will never remember but I want to be healthy to celebrate christmas with her so I hope im at least moving around well by then

Honestly Ive thought about for years but never truly looked into it thinking my insurance would never pay for it and a friend I went to high school had the surgery and I saw her progress online. I asked her what she was doing and told me gastic bypass and highly recommended her surgeon whom she also works for. And that was late may/ early june and was hapoy to find out its covered!

A close friend of mine had it done recently. I tried to talk her out od it xause my aunt had the open done 10 yrs back and got so sick. It was horrible. But when I went to see my friend the morning after she got it done she was up walking around.. perfectly fine... so I looked into it hardcore and was also relieved to find out it was covered. My pcp signed the medical necessity form yesterday... gyn sent her clearencet in.. I'm stoked
