And if you are not a WLS candidate, I don't think you do. Sure it's wonderful to have support people, everybody should-- even if Bariatric Pal is it for you, but unless you have walked in our shoes and on this path, you just can't. Sure you can observe it but you just don't know all the feelings that come with it. Some bad, majority good --but like parenthood the hardest,yet rewarding, thing you can do with yourself. And please believe me, when you,are on here YOU ARE NOT ALONE, we know the struggles, the benefits even the "Oh what have I done to myself?"moments. And the veterans walk in the sunlight of better health and ask us to join them there.[emoji67][emoji68][emoji69][emoji70][emoji13] Sunshine and Smiles my friend.

Hello all, Im Dionne, as a newbie here. Im currently on my last required visit of 5 of 6 months required by insurance on 4/25. So looking foward for my approval date of May 21 or 22, 2018.. so far so good. Good luck to you all.

I’m a newbie too. I will have my final weigh in on 5/2, then my paperwork gets submitted and takes 5-7 days for approval, THEN I will get my surgery date about two weeks from the approval date. I’ve seen the psychologist, nutritionist, had my upper GI ... it’s quite a process for sure. I have been researching, lurking, etc to get as much info as I can. I LOVE seeing before and after pics and hearing about experiences .... then I can picture myself with all this weight gone! If feels too good to be true.

Oh I am annoyed. My insurance approved Friday. They got my surgeon’s approval today. But they have to wait to get a signed copy of the approval before they’re call me to schedule. Seriously? We’re waiting on a signed copy in 2018?

      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!!
