I'm in Oklahoma. Bartlesville. I've had my first appointment with the surgeon and working on the 2nd half of my 6 month plan. We have UHC. I'm having my surgery in town.

I mean, so far nothing has really happened. I met with the Surgeon here at Jane Phillips. I have an appointment with a nutritionist, exercise specialist and the psychologist all this month. I am starting my 4 consecutive week weigh in twice a week, on Monday September 12th. I'm nervous about that. I'm not sure what to expect.

I just feel stuck until I get approval from insurance and set a surgery date.

The bariatric program here in bartlesville told me my goal right now, is to not gain. Weight loss is okay, but in small amounts, so the insurance will approve me.

My insurance requires a 6 month Dr. Supervised plan, or two - 3 month plans (within the past 2 years). I did a 3 month plan last year that I am trying to be approved for and if it is accepted, I will only have to do 3 more months. I am currently on week 2 of the 3 months. I will be done Nov. 24th. Hoping to get the surgery complete in December. Fingers crossed!

I have bcbs. Had my fifth month check up last week. After my October 7th appointment they will send to insurance for approval. All happened so fast! If all goes well November will be the month but I'd love to have it in October!

@tiffanymunn if you have any questions hit me up. I was only anxious once so far and that was meeting the surgeon. I am so excited about the future I don't have the energy to worry.

Okiegirl who was your surgeon?

I'm in Norman and Dr Lana Nelson did my sleeve in July. LOVE her, she and her staff at Journey Clinic are wonderful and knowledgeable. However the support groups I've been to here are not good IMO. I actually found the few I went to kind of depressing as most of the people were complaining of setbacks and/or not that successful in their journeys.
