I am so excited. Went to doc today for my weigh in. I have seen him for 6 consecutive months but had refused my weight back in January when I went to see him about my weight because I was angry and depresssed about the weight thing and I hadn't even made up my mind about he surgery so I wasn't going to be able to use the month of January. Today when I went in he said to me 'you have been here six months so you have the six months documented.' I said but I refused in January but I do know what I weighed because I had started a diet and I keep logs on my computer. He said 'we'll use that. There is no reason to go another month when we have what we need.' I AM EXSTATIC!!!!! He is faxing all his info to the surgeons office and they can submit to insurance. I have already done all pre op testing (psych eval, nutritionist, echocardiogram, endoscopy, sleep study- 2 nights) except I have to see a pulmonologist before surgery (because I have sleep apnea and I am using a CPAP now) and blood work.

I am hoping that everything works out and I can have surgery some time in July. My surgeon requires a 2 week pre op diet so they will allow time for that once they get insurance approval/denial but they told me that they are not booked out so it will happen very soon once they get insurance decision.

I am 34 and my BMI is 46.9 and I have diagnosed sleep apnea. I HOPE they don't deny me. I am so ready for this and to start moving on with my life lighter.

Sounds great so far. Hope you're approved.
