I know that I'm only half way through my insurance mandated weight loss, but I am getting SO excited! I had my third weigh-in today and lost another five pounds and was able to get all but one appointment made. The last on (for my endoscopy) can't be made until after I see my GI Dr. at the end of September. One of the best parts of today was all the encouragement I got from everyone at the family practice clinic I go to. My Dr. and all the staff are very happy and excited that I am having RNY. They have worked hard to make sure that I have all my weigh-in appointments when I need them and are more than willing to work around all the Bariatric clinic appointments. After losing my two most encouraging doctors at the first of the year, I never expected to end up with two doctors willing to do everything they could to move me forward on this exciting journey!

I am one week behind you. Monday is my third weigh in. It really has gone by quick. I am guessing is probably won't have surgery until January though. It is exciting.

I'm hoping for early December. Appt to go over everything before submitting to insurance is Nov 17th.

I have my 4th month visit next week. Im excited as well and see a light at the end if the tunnel. Hoping to have my surgery end of November or early December.

My insurance requires 6 complete months of overview by my doc so that will actually require 7 weigh ins. Then insurance submittal and approval..then surgery scheduling. I will be happy IF I get early January...but that really is the perfect time for me.
