Well I went and I wasn't put on schedule lol but I did get to see dietician.

2 days later seen nurse and psych and scheduled with surgeon.

I started Protein shakes for Breakfast as a beginning to start. I'm at a rock for weigh loss now because I'm limited as my insurance does bmi at surgery request , not bmi at beginning. I'm at 41 but with comorbities I can go (she suggested 36) so it was 35 and give them an excuse to exclude for that.

Everyone has been great and they were super excited that I had my planned things printed out history meds docs surgery their requirements and insurance requirements already. It made things very smooth! lets kick ass this 6 months to get to the date !!! I deserve it, my family deserves it

Just a follow up I had my other appts

Started slowly changing up foods etc (as I have a strict # to stick around and not lose too much)

I have an at home sleep

Study and was told that I need oxygen ???? So they are going to send that info to my cardiologist and my WLS

they haven't made me do the sleep study..thank goodness cause my husband would swear I have sleep apnea..but i dont want another thing to hold my surgery up. i have an endoscopy this week and then 1 more weigh in on the 12th..

Still working on getting my surgeon to submit for authorization. Last hoop....check.

Such a draining process, but I try to tell myself they make you go through everything to weed out the weak and make sure that they truly dedicated ones push through.

Yes !!! I still have months to go. But glad to get it done soon so no holds later
