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.

Sorry you are in a stall Luckygrl!! It sucks and makes us feel like we will be there forever...but you wont.

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. :-)

Oh this will be a good one for me too! See you there
