Recommended Posts

I am beyond excited right now!!

I just finished the last of my "homework" yesterday with lab work and had an appointment coming up this week to determine what comes next... thinking that's when they'd submit for insurance approval and then I'd have an eternity to wait and see if it went through.

IMAGINE my surprise when I get a call today and they said that not only had they already submitted for approval, but it was approved and I have my date set for 2 WEEKS!!!! March 15th, baby! That's one wonderful birthday present to myself (March 7th!)

I'M WALKING ON CLOUDS IN SUNSHINE UNDER A RAINBOW!!!!

Thank you all for the support and shared excitement! I've been giddy all day at work! :)

I'm getting the RNY bypass. My doctor is amazing and I'm feeling just on top of the world!

I was originally worried, because I have Blue Shield California, and the requirements used to be a 6 month waiting period, but they changed it last year and a lot of offices hadn't gotten the change, so when I went in for my first consultation, they still said 6 months. I found the updated surgery requirements document from a lovely gal on this site, who ran into the same snag, brought that into the doc's office, and now, about 2 months later I'm almost ready for surgery!! SQUEE!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
