    Octavia16, thank you for the thoughts, but.....I had my surgery last year. I'm down 87 lbs and basically at goal. I'd like to drop another 5 but if I don't I'm so happy with my results. Good luck with getting your clearance from insurance. My best advise to you would be - Have a positive attitude and follow your surgeons instructions. For some inspiration, below is a day before surgery and a picture from December. :)

    Hi everyone! I think my surgery will be in March. I go today for my psych consult and Feb 11th for my last of 6 month check-ins. Other than one more lab to submit, I'm DONE! I really hope they submit to insurance...I'm so nervous!

    Anything I should know for the psych consult today?
