ZOOOOMG I got my approval call today. I was originally told it would take 15 business days so when I got the call, I was in shock!

September 14th is my big day. Now to process all the second guess feelings, anxiety, guilt and the other crap emotions that always show up after I make a big decision.

Every day I wake up and wonder if I'm making the right choice for me. Then, when I get out of bed and feel all the weight of my body settle in with gravity and start to ache and hurt, I'm reminded that yes. Getting rid of this weight is the right choice for me.

I had Cigna with a <89 days doctor supervised weight loss. 41 BMI with no co-morbidities.

Congrats!!!!!!!! You are going to love this journey!!! Best of luck to you

Congratulations! You will do great! 226 isn't even that big, so I'm willing to bet you will be below 200 by the 2nd month post-OP. How exciting! Please let us know how it goes!

Super excited for you, when is your date? RNY or sleeve?

It's really getting REAL now, isn't it?

So you did the 90 day that your insurance would pay for? Did you lose weight in that 90 days? Thats pretty close on that borderline of 40. I am 42.6 and having a hard time maintaining not to gain but also to lose 1 or 2 pounds a month. I am doing 6 months.

Thank you all for the congratulations. I'm scheduled for September 14th for the Sleeve.

I did the 90 days so my insurance would cover. I lost only 3 pounds of the 8 that was my goal but I worked really freaking hard for those 3 pounds. I didn't drop below 40 BMI but my insurance only takes the first weigh in, not the end weigh during the diet phase. @@olamae keep at it. I mean I really worked ridiculously hard to loose those 3 pounds. Extra walking, bike riding, going to the gym. I was really kind of pissed off that I didn't lose more for as much as I've been working at it.
