Well, my insurance said yes.

Now I'm waiting to hear from the hospital to schedule my pre-op appointment and my surgery date.

I'm excited and terrified all at once.

My first appointment was at the end of January. My last appointment was April 8. My insurance approval only took a few days. It was submitted April 26! It was supposed to be submitted April 11 but the office has a lazy person in charge of it. I waited a week and a half and then started bugging her to death. She finally sent it in to shut me up. :)

I guess I have enough co-morbidities to make them think surgery is cheaper than all the meds I take.

I hope they call to schedule soon. I'll give them another day, then I might start bugging them....lol

My doctor said I could lose but not gain. Would any of you all be interested in joining if I started a Facebook group? I saw one on here but I messaged her weeks ago to join and never got a reply back. I thought since we were all within a couple months that I might start one for us. Let me know if you are interested.

I would love to join a private group on Facebook. I hope to have my surgery next month. I did all my appointments but need one follow up with my pulmonary appointment next week. My name is Vanessa Lecoin on Feb.

What a weekend! Took 3 hours to put together my new grill on Saturday, but had some of the best kebobs ever.... chicken breast with 4 different colored bell peppers, onions and mushrooms. We also built a fire in our fire pit for the kiddos to roast marshmallows.... no matter how badly I wanted one, I held back. Honestly, I was having such a good time watching them that I didn't think about it much.

What did everyone else do this weekend?

Yes, and I already had those three months because I was documenting weigh ins monthly with my provider. I work in the office she's in. She knows about the surgery obviously, but she knows my desire for privacy so it's all being kept quiet.

She has referred several patients to this surgeon and knew the procedure. Most insurances require more than three months. So we started the weight counseling. My insurance only needs three months.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
