I was just approved to start the Stage II Molina Bariatric Surgery Program(Apple Health) last week! (8/11) First NUT appointment is today and I'm already overwhelmed by all the criteria. Lol I'm so nervous because I soooo don't want to screw this opportunity up.

I'm constantly thinking of how many times I've let myself down doing other things. I already know that I won't have the money to afford this in the future, so I better cut the crap right now.. lol Argh! My nerves.. so anxious.. Anyone starting their journey now and looking at Spring 2017 surgery date (If all goes well) ?

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!

I'm just at the beginning of my journey as well, hoping to have surgery by May 2017.
