So l had my first appt with the wls clinic this past Monday (24), nut the next day, and yesterday the psych eval. The drs office just called me and said my insurance has already approved me. It only took one day! I am SOOOO in shock. So depending on when my husband can get off work, I'm having my surgery on April 15 or 17!!!! It's a good thing I've been on here for hours every night for the past month researching.

@Pepper123-I have humana for Kentucky state employees. It is amazing. I have a little bit if a deductible, but my total out-of-pocket for the year is $2500 so that is the most I'll have to pay. I'm so excited but just a little overwhelmed that it is happening so fast. Thanks everybody for all the encouragement. I love this forum :)

@@kitten22996 - I have Humana for state employees, too. Did they mention a 6 month prep period, or had you already done that?

No 6 month waiting period. I had my first appt with the Dr on march 24 and had my surgery in April 15. It was crazy how fast it went. They actually wanted me to do the surgery a wk before but I couldn't get off work that quick.

I hope you realize how incredibly fast that is, compared to pretty much everyone else I've heard of.

Congratulations (with a little bit of envy)!

      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!!
