Maybe just call and ask them. I'm not sure what their guidelines are about that. I'm planning on going too.

Lucky once approved by insurance what did you have to do any more blood or other tests?

Once I was approved, they set me up for my final appt with the surgeon to set up the date, which was less than two weeks after that last appt. Once at the hospital, they took blood for some tests.

Ok thanks so much. Things are looking good. I called today and next week will be sent for team approval. Keeping my fingers crossed!

How's everyone doing? I'm feeling frustrated because I'm still on a stall. Looking forward to the support group tomorrow morning. Maybe it'll readjust my head a bit. Hope you all have a great weekend. Looks like gorgeous weather! I'm going to take advantage of it and spend some time outside.

Hang in there Lucky look at it this way if you lost at least 20 lbs that's 5 lbs a week when have we ever lost that much in a week. Lol What is the topic of group tomorrow do you know? I'll be there I'll be the one with my grand baby and a stroller. Praying she's good so I can stay.

True, I've never lost 5lbs a week lol. This whole thing is such a mental rollercoaster. Mental health and stress eating is the topic. Should be a good one. I'm not sure what I'll be wearing lol but I'll look for you. :-)

      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.

      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!!
