Is the endoscopy a requirement for everyone?

I am at the surgeons office now... Waiting to talk to the nutritionist for my final appt. I have to schedule an appt w/the surgeon and make sure everything is in order.

For me it was. It was the best sleep I ever had and I never knew they did anything to me. Piece of cake...

Very frustrated ...got a letter they denied my nuclear stress test so I call the cardiologist and they don't have any records of my echo being submitted for precert yet its scheduled on a day I'm already seeing someone else. Its all screwed up....Dee...might be joining you in November ....

It is so frustrating. Maybe because we are just anxious...like being behind a slow car on the interstate when you're in a hurry. Im doing my best to breath deeply....and try to start dieting seriously while doing some sort of exercise. Maybe this will keep me calm! Lol

I've called my insurance if not everyday, 4 days of their 5 day work week since 7/22/14 to inquire of my approval. One C/S rep gave me her personal extension and said that I could call anytime and also told me that she'll personally call me if anything about my submitted paperwork, that's still in review, change. Ms. Carol also told me that she's off today 7/25 and if I could hold off calling until 7/26 that I may have some great news, she'll be praying for me... Lol! I just want my surgery date, upon completing all requirements, but I can't get it until the insurance approval!! :(

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
