Hey all,

I'm sooooooooooooooooooo thrilled!!

Last year 10/07, I started the whole process of getting the approvals from the doctors (cardio, lung, psych)..2/12/07 I was scheduled for surgery...and RIGHT before the day, I cancelled...unbelievable!

Recently, I started rethinking everything...and decided to start once again. Luckily, I didn't need to be re-evaluated.

Today, I got the call from the cordinator. I go to pre-op class on 9/22 and Surgery is scheduled for 10/07/08!! whooooooo whooooooo!!

wish me luck and any positive feedback is morrrrrree than welcome!!

Peace out-

Congratulations!! How hard was the psych eval? Did you go on a liquid diet? Good luck !

I'm in IL too. I started this process March 08. I had GreatWest health ins and they had me go on a 6 mo eval plan, I haven't lost any weight :biggrin:. Since then I have married and now have BC/BS IL. I should find out what they require in the next month or so. pretty cool.

The psych eval was pretty easy, they ask questions like how long you've been fat, has it prevented you from advancing in your jobs, things like that.

Congrats on the marriage!

Good luck 2u........:biggrin:

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
