My husband has been amazing so far. We talk about it quite often. He was very apprehensive at first. Not because of insecurity, but because of the risks. He is hanging in there with me and all of emotions LOL! I can't wait to just get it over with. He knows that this is a huge change that will rock both of our lives and the lives of our children. For the better of course! I am really looking forward to seeing how this will improve our relationship, especially physically. We have a very healthy relationship now so I can only imagine.

I am with Cigna on the 89 day plan as well and I gained 2.7 lbs. They said it wasn't that big of a deal. You should be good. Good luck!

My last appt is this Friday. I have to complete a sleep study this Friday as well. Then, off to insurance I go! Very excited and ready for this change.

Bitter42 woo hoo for you! So excited for you! Glad everything worked out for you. Can't wait to hear more updates!

Katmando12 that is AMAZING! Kudos to you lady! I cannot wait to say that I've lost 74 lbs. How was your hospital stay? Any tips you can give me to make my stay as comfortable as possible I would love to hear. Again, congrats!

Awesome news bitter42! So excited for you. Welcome Kasee58! Great work on the weight loss! Yes, the winter here was horrible. I dont know if people are getting together to meet for support. I'd definite be open to it. The more support through this journey, the better. And yes, we are all special!

They picked my surgeon, but you can choose if you want. I had to do the psych visit, the sleep test, and the pulmonary clearance. The pulmonary because I was a smoker so I think they just want to double check my lungs for safety. The surgeon team actually will pick what your requirements are along with what is required through your insurance co.

Hi bitter42! So glad you reached out! I have one more appointment left for my dietician visit. I have to have a sleep test and a pulmonary test and do the dietician food class and off to insurance I go. Very excited for what is ahead of me. If they dont call you by mid next week, I would call them. Have you chosen your surgeon yet? I have Dr. Page. So far my experience has been great. Your first appointment you will meet with the coordinator, Tiffany who will go over all of your next steps. I am looking forward to keeping in touch and sharing experiences. You never know, we could end up being scheduled together! Let's keep each other encouraged! Talk to you soon!

Nilla13, thanks so much! I am so excited for this journey. Buckeyemom614, congrats to you. Way to go on breaking 300! Whoot whoot!

Hello all! I am in Columbus, Ohio. Very beginning stages for me. Going through my requirements. I will be having surgery at Mount Carmel Hospital hopefully in June. Anyone have their surgery there? Please let me know your experience. My insurance is with Cigna. Hope to hear from you. Thanks!
