    Lookin For Buddys

    Hi guys! I'm Lydia, 24 from Maine. My surgery date is December 21. I'm hoping to meet some people going through the same stuff too. Tomorrow is exactly one month until I get sleeved. I'm starting to get very excited/nervous!

    Waiting For Anthem...

    I am waiting for anthem to approve my surgery. I know the chances of getting approved are pretty good but I can't help feeling stressed and anxious. I am very much a "take action" kind of person so waiting around is killing me. I just want to know. Now. Lol. How long did it take for your insurance to approve? I'm probably worried for no reason but I just really hate the waiting game.

    Shopping

    I went out shopping today and had to refrain from buying any new clothes. I see it as pointless considering I will be having surgery in a month! Probably one of the best reasons I have had to not buy clothing. I also packed up all of my summer gear because next summer I will not be wearing any of that!
  7. nice job!! I just told my wife tonight that next year we are going to run our local turkey trot together

    Looking For Friends

    I won't be sleeved until next month but I would love a group of people experiencing similar things to join. I'm a 24 year old English teacher in Maine. My program runs many support groups but I am the youngest one there by about 20 years! I often feel out of place and uncomfortable joining in.

    1 Month Count Down...

    So I'm in the last stretch while I wait for my insurance to approve. I should be getting sleeved on dec 21. I'm feeling like I could use a buddy to go through this with me! I'm starting to get anxious. I'm trying out a new support group in my area tomorrow. If you want to chat let me know

    1 Month Count Down...

    The program that I am in requires an orientation class, nutrition class, physical therapy class, 1-1 with NUT, psych eval and then finally meeting with the surgeon. I have done aaaalll of that! Just waiting for the final word from my insurance company.

    My New Gym!

    We just finished changing one of our basement rooms into a home gym. I'm so excited to use it! The pics attached show it is still a little messy but totally accessible. What is you favorite piece of equipment - the one that you couldn't live without? For all of you post- op folk how long was it before you felt truly comfortable working out?

    Coming Out...

    How did you tell your friends and family about your decision? Or did you? How many people did you choose to tell? I'm not sure if I am comfortable telling many people - including my mother.

    Does Any One Have Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Of Maine?

    Thanks Philly. I am trying to get a feel for how much my insurance is going to cover. I could always just ask but alas it is the weekend!
  16. Are there any fellow maniacs here who have had the sleeve? What was the total cost of your surgery and how much did your co pay end up being? Did you have to pay up front? Or did your hospital have payment plans? Not mainer? Answer anyway! Haha thanks
