I go for visit #5 on Wednesday. I did this 6 month diet plan 3 times now. My first time, I didnt make it to month 6 because of issues....2nd time, I was denied by insurance and didnt appeal. So this time, I am dotting all my I's and crossing my T's so that they have no excuse to deny me. I am so ready to lose this weight. I am aiming for May 2014 to be sleeved and I have bought a complete summer wardrobe in size 20 and 22. I wear a 24/26 and some 28's now. I hope I havent jinxed myself.....but I am so ready!

January 2013 Sleevers?
Nissah Fleming replied to williamrjomes2's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I completed my supervised diet in Nov., I'm now awaiting insurance approval which I am sure to be approved for because of all my health issues that will be solved with surgery....except my Graves Disease. I was hoping to have a January date...but I got Feb 1st. Only because I'm because I'm awaiting approval. So thats close enough to Jan....isn't it? -

Okay! Attended a support group this morning. It was pretty nice, but not what I expected it to be, but it was very informative. I got to talk to ppl that were sleeved more than 2 years ago, to a lady that was sleeved 4 weeks ago and lost 48lbs. GOD I hope that is me when I get sleeved. Next week is very busy for me with all the appt that I have to attend. But GOD has bought me to this and HE will see me thru this.

Surgery Postponed Due To Thyroid Issues....help!
Nissah Fleming replied to LizEac's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too had a surgery postponed due to Graves Disease! I had Hyperthyroidism and I had radiation therapy, and that stopped the function of my thyroid PERIOD. So now I take Levothyroxine and I will have to take this for the REST OF MY LIFE! That was in 2007 and Not to discourage you, but this year has been the first time that my doctor has said that surgery is okay now. It may not take so long for you, but I got discouraged and just checked out on surgery and gave up for about 4 years. It wasnt until my mother had a heart attack and my health declined even more to the point that I broke a bone in my heel and the bone fragment is now lodged in my tendon. How did I break this bone....He told me from being to heavy for my feet. NOW, I am really ashamed. So here I am...going for surgery again. This time NOTHING IS GOING TO STOP ME! Hang in there. Take your medications as prescribed and it may take a couple to six months to get your levels on track..but you will get there. Good Luck! Nissah -
I made it thru ANOTHER seminar, I fell asleep, but......THIS IS MY LAST ONE EVER! Tomorrow I do my support group, Mon. Psych eval, Tues., exercise class, Wed. Diabetes Ed. Class. By the end of the month, I will be a few steps closer to having surgery! Can you say ELATED! Yes I AM!

They are making me go to another Weight Loss Seminar...I have sat thru 20 of these seminars in 7 years. Oh well, I gotta do it to have surgery!

Count down....in 5 hours I go to another consult with my weight loss specialist. I hope I have lost something, although I feel like I have gained! Update when I return.
