I am new to this forum, but have been read this forum for years. I've tried getting approved for wls twice and each time got denied. They say your third time is a charm because I received that call today and I AM APPROVED!!!!! I have been on this journey for over 15 years and it's here! I am so excited. I know the journey will be challenging, but I'm ready for the ride!

That’s great! I have tried each time we changed Insurance finally this year our new insurance will cover it. I have my scope this coming Friday and it is the last thing to do. Once completed they will send everything off for approval. Fingers crossed I will get the answer this month and by the end of next month i’ll Be scheduled for surgery

Congratulations! That is such great news, and it gives me hope as well. It is so annoying that folks like us who have done our research have to be approved by a doctor who thinks they know us better than we know our own needs, but that must make it extra nice when approval finally goes through!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
