Good afternoon everyone ???? I've got my seminar tonight to start my journey with WLS, wish me luck and say a few prayers for me that this is a smooth ride for me. Please and thank you in advance ????????????

Oh!!! lucky you!

My heart sank to the floor when I first discovered I

Had to do supervised weight loss.

I'm having a lot of stress issues at work, and I'm

honestly not sure how much longer I can last there.

So now, it's a battle whether or not I can stay at my

job long enough for this 3 months to go by and for the

surgery to actually get done (before anything happens and

I lose my insurance).

Since you don't have to worry about the supervised weight loss,

I'm sure you'll be in and out in like a month or two!

I definitely like the people in my class. I get to see and hear

other people's stories, and hopefully have some surgery buddies

when the time finally comes.

On the other hand, all the assignments for my class are pretty

time consuming.

Can't you get the cobra insurance or whatever you call it till next job? And if you don't continue on with that job you can still enroll in insurance on the healthcare.gov site till February 15th I think... And I think your insurance would start in March if you did that.. But obviously check with them ???? good luck with all of it..

I am not required to do any dieting before I can have my surgery. My doctor did tell me that i do have to weigh less that I did at my appnt on Jan 8th. He said even if it is only 1 pound less that is fine. So I am very happy for that! I have my appnts set up now for my nutritionist visits. I have to do 3 visits and I also have my appnts set up for my nutrition support group meetings. I have to do three of those also. (Each of those I have to do 1x a month, and I have to have them done before my next Dr appnt which is March 26th. My sleep study appointment is set too, I have to go for that on the 29th of this month. I am not looking forward to having that done. The only thing I haven't been able to get an appnt set up for is my Psych eval, but I have to have that done before march 26th also.

Hopefully I can get all that done before March 26th, because if I do then we will get my surgery scheduled! I can't wait!
