So just found out that I will have my last of 12 months appt (phone call) with my insurance on May 1st. All of my documents can be sent in for approval after that. So I'm hoping to have my surgery by the end of May!!!!! Soooooo can't wait! It's killing me! lol

That's awesome!! I know that has to feel amazing to have a better idea of when everything should take place!!

The unknown is driving me nuts as well.. I'm so ready.. I should be ready to submit everything end of this month.. hopefully March I'll be on my way!!

Good stuff ladybug!! Keep pushing!!

I know how you feel. I'm 5'6" and I weigh 275. I have horrible back, knee, foot and side pain. I hate going anywhere that I know I will be walking alot, because I KNOW I will be in pain. I work in a classroom with 2 yr olds, I can no longer squat down to talk to them and I don't know if it feels worse or LOOKS worse when I get up/down on the floor to play with them. I have no confidance, I let people treat me like crap because I guess I don't feel likenI deserve better. I feel that I haven't even LIVED yet, and I am 44 yrs old. I AM READY TO START LIVING!!!!

Have you had surgery??? I wish I could do it sooner, but I have the Summers off and I want as much time as possible to get used to the changes. I hope I gain the confidance I need to quit my job and tell them exactly WHY!!!! I HATE the way I LET people treat me here.

Hey! I'm hoping for surgery (sleeve) in March/April 2017. My current weight is 240. I just completed my 2nd Nutrionist visit & 2nd Support group! I have an apt for the Cardiologist next week. And I have the education seminar January 6th, I will also be getting a date for surgery that same week!!!!

At first it felt like this process was going to take forever 6 months sounded so long but the time starts to go by! Can't believe I'm almost 3 months away from a new life I'm so anxious.

Wish you the best on your journey!

My last NUT was the 15th. All appts and blood work are completed. Now it's time to submit all paperwork to my insurance company and wait for approval. Crossing my fingers for a February surgery date. I can't wait.

On the 21st all be all finished with my appointments. Just the social worker for the surgeon left. Then I hope I can schedule with the surgeon and submit to insurance. I'm getting closer and getting a bit more scared that I will go through all this for nothing. I hate that they can deny in the second stage too. But Ill be happy not to have a butt ton of appointments to go to every week!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
