When I started the 'program' at the current hospital , they asked me at my first appointment... "so, are you excited?" I burst their little bubbles by saying NO, I am not. Then explained to them that I had been trying to get WLS for 2 mind-numbing years but that because of insurance issues the rug kept getting ripped out from under me. But i'm soooooo excited now. This morning I found out I've lost 5 of the 17 lbs I need to loose, my A1C is down, and I have only 3 things left to do: Loose the remaining weight, take life classes, and complete the sleep study. THEN I can meet with the surgeons. WOOHOO this is the first time in a LONG time I've been excited about this journey. Feels good. Feels realllllll good!

Congrats hun

Just found out that I have a consult with my surgeon on April 11. wowowowoww i'm pumped. only have 1 more pound to lose.

Get your sleep study sooner rather than later. They can sometimes take a long time to get scheduled! Congrats!

Yep, had the consult, awaiting head band thing for a home study.

It took my office 2 weeks of me checking in every week before I finally got a date to pick up my home sleep test, which requires a scheduled appointment.... Consult was feb 14. Not getting machine until March 13. They say they’ll have enough time to read results by my follow up March 19th. Definitely was t expecting this much leg work for a sleep study.

I know.. I should have mine hopefully in the next 1-2 weeks. my consult date with my surgeon is april 11 so fingers crossed we can put the petal to the metal and zoom through this thing.

I have a c pap,not a bad thing, you get used to it. I was off mine temporarily for a sinus infection on doctors orders, I couldn't sleep, was awake for over 36 hours.
