Oh and I told my parents n there response was you don't need surgery back away from the table diet n exercise n I'm thinkin your opinion really don't matter this is my body n right now I'm doing what's best... I only told 4 people 1 of which is pretty much against it but who cares I'm doing it. She claims when ever she go out she can look at people n tell who had the surgery cause of the sagging skin. I'm only nervous because I told my kids dad I was havin the surgery n he like we'll what if you want to have another kid. N I'm just wonderin if he will really be here to help me thru the recovery process. Oh n now he says I'm startin to snore. I've never snored so now I'm gonna tell the surgeon so Dr Singh at st Agnes hospital can send me to get a sleep study right quick.... -

Well I have carefirst blue cross thru fed govt n in the beginning I was told I only need to see a nutrionalist for 3mos as she monitored my weight gave me suggestions on how n what to eat etc. Oh yea I'm 4ft 11in 34yrs old single parent of 2kids 235lbs. Anyhow I was seeming a nutrionalist marlenna young n md. She was really nice gave me so much free stuff like liquid calcium protein shakes bags of it like all I needed for befre n after surgery I saw her for 2mos then for the 3rd no she rescheduled cause she got sick then next no rescheduled. Well I'm pissed cause I'm thinkin I only had one more moth to go. When I called st Agnes hospital they called my ins to see what I can do n low n behold I had been misinformed in the beginning. I am to do 6mos visit with a nutrionalist 3consecutive mos n 3mos non consecutive along with shrink visit I'd already did n that's pretty much it. Well I started seein a new nutrionalist in Owings mills who is real nice too m gives me free things I'll need for befre n after surgery like the protein shakes chewable vitamins snacks. This sat is my 6th n final appointment to see the nutrionalist n I've nervous as HELL because after this visit next week st Agnes can send my info to the ins company for their approval -

A lil disappointed because i was so ready to get the sleeve done but my bmi is only 46 and my ins company BCBS Fed says your bmi has to b 50 and above bcause its a fairly new procedure.
