Oh gosh today is the appointment with the surgeon to go over which option is going to be best for me and to submit everything to the insurance for approval. I am so very nervous!! Mainly because I am scared something will go wrong and I will not be able to move forward... All of the failures before has me expecting this to not work out as well:( prayers for me today guys that I don't pass out in the waiting room from anxiety! Lol!! Kidding but not kidding.

Take a deep breath and believe! Good luck with your visit today and with your application for approval. Keep us posted and let us know when your surgery date is and what procedure you have elected.

Thanks! I am sitting in the waiting room as I type, the physician is running behind due to being stuck in surgery. I feel better surprisingly now that I am here waiting.. Just ready to get this going!!

So the doctor is super nice and really made me feel comfortable. Not like an obese failure like I was expecting????

He was leaning more toward the bypass than the sleeve only because of my reflux, won't know more until my EGD is completed in Tuesday. He also gave me a checklist to complete like the nutritionist visit and psych consult. Also I need my current Pap smear and lab work to be completed. It's on a roll guys!!

Oh and I was told I am only 5 foot 2 1/2 inches and not the 5 foot 4 like I have thought for years!! I have shrunk!! But it put my BMI at 41.8.. That's better than the 40 and barely getting approved.

Exciting times ahead for you!! Congrats and good luck on your journey!

You will be fine I work for insurances company as long as your BMI is over 34 you are going to be fine. you do not need a medical condition to have the surgery
