Hi you are not alone my friend we are here for you.

Hang in there you can do it, stay positive you do not need any haters in your life, your on your way to a healthier you, we are here for you.

Tkauhi You know this seems to be a common practice, I had to request my referral 3 times then today I just went to the doctor and sat their until I had it in my hand, they sent my referral to the wrong doctor and hospital, dont give up , be presistent, I still have to meet with my surgeon and they will be submitting everything after 1/4/13. So I feel your pain but we will prevai.

I use fitness Pal and I love it.

Cindygirl thank you for your insight meant on this issue.I am so glad that your doing great, and I can not wait until next month, I should have my exact date within thin the next repo weeks . I look forward to your posts .

I am so happy for you congrats, I cant wait to join you, please keep us posted on your update . Thanks for sharing by the way once you came out of the operation can you explained how you felt.

I agree learn as much as you can I know that's what I have been doing and I am in month 5 of my 6 month weight management requirement .

I just ordered this book as well as the sleeve one.

My psyc exam consisted of a bunch of questions, as well as some basic questions concerning my support system, habits, and my future goals.

Yes I have to do one that's on Dec16/13 this is my 5th month, and although I am exercising everyday I have lost some weight but I think it should have been more but that's is the main reason I need this surgery. By the way can you explain what your class covered?

Yes this is normal, my husband does not want me to have surgery either because I am doing so good with void management and my weight now, but he is supportive because he understands this is something that I want and I want to be healthier and off diabetic medications and high blood pressure meds .your husband loves you , and I am sure he wants nothing but the best for you.

Pear45 you are correct I have bluecare network with the state and they cover 100 percent of everything , so check with the plans in your state and your coverage .

Yes it is by blue cross its called blue care network.

Blue carte Network covers 100 percent of the surgery without any copays.

I was diagnose with the same , and I had to take antibodies gorgeous two I had to take a lot of pills during those two weeks but I'm glad they caught it, because I started having stomach pains .

Mmrennau I respectfully disagree a husband input and a boyfriends input is different, your husband suppose to love you unconditionally , your boyfriend doesn't .

Hang in there you are loss weight and we can see it, just remember although you may not feel like you are , there is a difference in your body form and arms. dont be so hard on yourself.

Chris thank you for this information and for sharing I have just completed my application on line, I will let you know what happens.

I honestly believe that you should be making this choice to better your health, and yourself no one else, I do not mean to be rude but he is your boyfriend not your husband. Make your choice in the best interest of you, not to please him, keep him or anything, but for you, ask yourself will this surgery improved your quality of life, because your boyfriend may stay or he may leave. You must make the choice to decide to be a healthier you for you and no one else. Good luck and the best of wishes.

I will be in my 5 month weight management next month, and I am so excited and woundering what to expect when I meet the doctor, this is my first time meeting them .

Tmunro yes I am do to meet him for the first time next month, what has your experience been, so far I have only met with Ms. Sally Green.

I was told my my psychologist to write everything down as well as exercise this has help me a lot because I don't have to sugarcoat anything, I can get my frustrations out and I do not have to hurt anyone's feelings . Then when I'm calm I can address those issues in a positive way .

Purplefaery you are right about learning a lot about yourself and cravings I now walk every day for at least 40 to 60 minutes, as well as make better choices to what I eat and why I eat it, these times are excellent in preparing you for your pre-surgery you. Although I didn't like it I am entering my 5 month in two weeks and I am looking forward to walking it down. I have been trying different protein shakes but don't want to get fixated on one since everyone says your taste buds changed. Hey you began trying any protein shakes ? I have bought a canister of unjury .

I hope your pain goes away quickly,sending you well wishes.

I feel the same way I will be begin my 5 month weight management in two weeks, but I am trying to stay focus on the fact that I will have a little more time before i have surgery.
