  5. Have done all my pre-op requirements done and now all they are waiting on is the proof of my hypertension from my primary MD. All it is is a simple fax and thy still haven't done it and it's been a week! I called them last week and promised to send it today. Of course they didn't . It's stressing me out!

    Is it real yet?

    I am done with all my intake except my EGD which is scheduled on 10/21. I am still waiting for my insurance approval. Which I hope to get this eek or next. I think once I get the official approval it will feel more real!
  8. Hi! Just had my psych eval today and it went well. She believes I am a good candidate . Monday I have my nutrition consult and then they send it off to the insurance for approval ! I still have to have EGD done which they said they would do after the approval comes in . My doc is so busy that his schedule is full 6 weeks in advance so I am thinking another 8 weeks or so!! I am getting excited!!

  15. Hello..My Name is Teresa. I am 37 years old. Have a wonderful hubby, three kids, a dog and a job that keeps me busy. I am 5'4 217 pounds and I have been approved for my VGS and plan to have surgery in Nov. 2013. I am so concerned that after i have surgery i am not going to lose weight. Anyone else with these concerns?? My goal weight it 130 lbs. Thanks tmama
  16. I can bend over and tie my shoes without holding my breathe !!
  17. For me i am blessed with insurance that does not make you have a waiting period!! Whew! My requirements are BMI of 40 or BMI of 35 with other health problems. I suffer from severe hypertension even with medications. I just have to have a nutrition consult and a psych consult and an EGD. I am scheduled for the 27th for the two consults and my doc said he would preform the EGD the next week. He said it all is good i can be scheduled for the end of OCT but i want to wait until after Halloween due to a pre planned trip. I am just scared i am going to have this procedure and lose like 10 pounds!! I know i am just being crazy but I am just so tired of living in this body!!

    Relationship

    I guess i should feel lucky. I have Blue Cross insurance. No waiting period. They just had me write down the ways i have attempted to lose weight. Doc said my wait period is no longer than 8 weeks. I am sorry babe. Hang in there!!
