Welp, I am an October sleever no more. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea during my sleep study, so now I have to wear the CPAP for 30 days and receive a clearance for my pulmonary doctor before I am cleared. My follow up with him is the end of October; therefore, I will more than likely end up in November baring nothing happens with my EGD Wednesday. I am really low key disgusted, but it is what it is. I can't even take my class while i log my 30 days using the CPAP... I really wish I could. It has been my pleasure being amongst you Octobers Best of luck to you all!

I'm sure it's all for the best. I know the aggravation you must feel. It's quite a song and dance we have to do to get to the actual point of surgery. Hopefully, it will go by quickly for you and your surgery will be here before you know it!

Absolutely, cindy t! Thank you :-)

Oct 22nd! getting excited!

Insurance approval after first appeal. Horrible company and an 18 month medically supervised diet and 10% required weight loss and maintenance of that loss...it's all led me to my sleeve surgery on October 22. It's been so long and such a fight that now it's surreal. Working on all the pre surgical medical stuff now. I'll turn 41 a week after my sleeve. BMI 44, diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea. Never been so excited. Or so scared!

Congrats! I can't believe you had to do an 18 month medically supervised diet!! And an appeal to get it.

Certainly more painful than a normal blood test - not a party.

Thank you! It's certainly been a lot, but it will be worth it in the end!

Congrats! I’m Oct 8. I’m a teacher too. But I am just going to make it work. I feel the same way as you. This is the first thing I’ve done for me.

We have been out because of Hurricane florence and have not been able to return to school yet. So I feel bad that I will need to miss so soon after we do get to return, but I cannot pass up this opportunity to better myself. I will make it work. Good Luck to you! I will let you know as soon as I know my date for sure.
