It is literally life changing but I'm ready because this isn't working. I can barely move it seems.

I'm glad to read this. Hopefully I'll stay focused when it happens to me. My surgery isn't until next month.

Pre-op Preparation
gixxergirl replied to gixxergirl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm too excited. I'm not excited about the puree but at least I know it's something I cooked and not baby food. I have trays of chicken and brocoli and cheese too. That should cover it. I'm very cookie cutter. -
Where are you in the process and what's your date?
gixxergirl replied to Amyllf2's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I have completed the process. I have Cigna. The doctor's office sent my paperwork on the 21st, which was last Friday, and the approval came back this past Wednesday. I was thrilled that it only took three business days. -
Hello. I'm Kimberly from Charlotte, NC. I'm 40 and I'm having the bypass on April 21st. I'm anxious to get it over with and start my recovery.

That's good that you have a real plan. I've been thinking about how I'm going to get my Walking and resistance training done. -
My tentative date of surgery is April 22nd.

I remember those gas pains from my hysterectomy. Not fun! I told my coworkers that they needed to come take me for a walk as soon as they could.

I'm not required to do a preop diet either. They just said low fat. -
You look great. Lifting weights is something I'll have to get used to doing. I've only ever done cardio and body resistive exercise.

How are you getting insurance to cover it? Mine specifically says panniculectomies are cosmetic and not covered. Is there a way around that? -

Okay soooo, I don't have an official date yet but my dummy date is April 22nd pending Cigna approval. The more I read the more I worry that I'm not strong enough for this life long journey. I'm excited but scared as all get out. -
What kind of work out are you doing?
-
I'm actually having my surgery in Rock Hill at Piedmont with Dr. Bo. How is everything going ?
-
My "dummy date " is April 22nd. I'm so nervous about the approval process.

How did you go about telling your family/employer/co-workers...
gixxergirl replied to m_rose's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes. I'm constantly being told that I don't need it so I stopped telling people. -
Thanks. I'll give them a call Momday.
