If all goes well on Feb 19th( my surgery was pushed back due personal obligation) I will have my gastric bypass n it will be the begin of a new me. Please pray for me. Thanks. GOD BLESS U

Oh wow i did forget to say lol. I am having surgery on 2/19 at 12pm :D

Yes he is! Thank u

Just found out I'm approved and my surgery is Feb 19th yay. Feb is a great month

I got the email from the scheduler today. I have been approved :D B) I cant stop smiling im sooooo happy.We go through the longest process to get this surgery done and at the end we all are waiting anxiously for that approval. And i got mines today. I am too happy. Thank you all for your well wishes and your prayers

Thank you so much I will call by Tues if I don't care anything

I will be sent home with the shots also

Well for me I have a surgery date.of 2/19 and all I need to make sure is that I am approved before I get completely happy. Although I'm positive everything will go through. Can I call my insurance company to find out if a request has been made?

I'm so sorry u have to go through this. I couldn't imagine not having support from my loved ones. Have u tried talking to them? I hope everything works out

I know how u feel. This is life changing and we deserved to know the answer

No the scheduler didn't call me back like she was supposed to. I'm very upset. I even emailed her n she.said she will let me know. Now I have to wait until Tuesday because she is off Monday...ugh stressed

Thank u

And your surgery date. I just like to hear the success stories of other as my surgery is coming up. I know everyone loses differently but at the end of the day everyone loses. So can you share your progress with me. Thanks all

My first appt for my doc was Nov 29. I have Medicaid HMO Anthem Healthkeeper. The crazy thing is I had lost my insurance because I lost my job n wouldn't be able to afford Cobra but thanks to God he made a way for me to still get healthy.

I am completely excited, nervous and ready! I still cant believe that they gave me a tentative date. Feb 12th is the day my life will change. I have my final evaluation class Wed and my Preop Ed Class that following Mon then paper work gets sent off to the insurance and i wait for my approval(positive thinking) I am so ready for this. This process for me has been very fast because i didn't have to do any diet programs just the requirements to make sure im healthy for surgery and everything came back great. All i keep thinking is what is my life going to be like after this? How will it be to finally be healthy and slim(lol slim) I can't wait. I so glad i have you all to come on here and share my story with. Please feel free to share your journeys with me

I'm so glad I have others feeling like this and I'm not going through it alone. It felt like everyone seemed so ready and here I am being a punk LOL. Well since I have been coming here I'm starting to feel so much more better. Thank u all for your wonderful words

So today i received news from my doctors office that i will not qualify for the gastric sleeve(due to severe acid reflux) but that i can convert to the gastric bypass, but i'm so scared because i have heard not so many good stories about the bypass. I really want to feel as comfortable with the bypass and i did with the sleeve and i know that will take time. I just wanted want some POSITIVE reassure and stories from other who have had the bypass or those who are going to have the bypass. If you can share you story i would apprieciate it alot

I am really hoping to not have any more surgery unless it completely needed. So my fingers are def crossed

tarabell238-I wonder that too. I plan on going hard with my exercising but i'm hoping my loose skin isn't bad

I am not sleeved as yet but this thought came to me yesterday and forgive if this has already been talked about i just couldn't find the topic. Has anyone lost too much weight meaning you went way beyond your goal and are still losing? Has anyone had to increase their eating to stop from losing? Or does your body know when to stop? I want to lose weight and get healthy but i really want to keep my curves. Any insight??

Wow. See I would be too scared to eat such good things because that habit would be hard to break. I hope the body will know when to stop losing
