2 DAYS TO MEET WITH SURGEON
tammie30 replied to tammie30's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm beyond excited that this just over somewhat.. It's never truly over .. The psych Eval went absolutely amazing ☺️ That's what I was most worried of.. I'm going the gastric sleeve.. But then again like I wanna know more about the bypass as well.. Let's see what my surgeon suggest. Super excited thank god I'll have my mom with me -
Sooooo I'm done wit alllll my appts .. I'm meeting with my surgeon this Wednesday .. Super anxious I lost 9 lbs which was what my insurance required... But I gained it back ???? heart breaking. However my doctor never mentioned to me having to lose weight it just said on thr paper ( sample letter ) lost 3 lbs .. Weight unchanged.. Idk I'm just a little anxious and excited about the whole thing because I never do stuff for me.. This is the one thing in making about me.

My insurance didn't really tell me anything about losing weight.. Even though I lost 9 lbs I gained back.. Idk why I was following it all.. Let's see hope for the best.. I have Health First NY .. I meet with my surgeon this Wednesday.. Fingers crossdd

Mine have me my copy.. In case the doctor didn't get it.. Through fax. Be he was pretty clear that I was prepared for the surgery... My mental state was at the right place. That I want to lose 100+ lbs and I'm willing to put all my efforrt and commit to it.. So that should be good
-
He said I was a "sassy and brilliant young woman with a zest for life" teehee Mine wrote I was well put together and prepared for the surgery.

Urns out I was worried for nothing .., ACED that psych Eval ????????????????????????

Thank you, now I just have the approval to worry of

-
What type of questions do they ask ??
-
Thank you so much...
-
Thank you hun.. Ugh I hear it's not good if you're like depressed ..
-
Wellll I'm just going to tell mine that I know the surgery is a tool, and I don't expect it to do the losing for me. I'm ready for the healthy lifestyle. I need energy again, I'm always tired.. I lose breath quickly and I feel dizzy when I lose breath ( urggggg ) are you ladies from Ny ? If so do any of you have Health First ????
-
Before surgery.. Did any of you just be anxious and think about all the wrong things that can happen ??? AHHHHH that's all that's running through mine ???????????? ADVICE ANYONE ?? Still haven't been approved.. That also has my nerves running
-
It's perfectly normal, I almost chickened out at the last minute, but then I thought I don't want to keep living in a size xxl clothing that was getting tight and being tired all the time, from that day on I tried to stay positive, and cut out saying certain words like "can't" or "only". Being 4 months out my only regret is is that I didn't do this sooner, I have so much more energy and love being outdoors spending time with family and friends. I haven't even gone through the approval thing yet. I'm at 247 I actually gained like 4 lbs from when I started and my bmi is 46.7 hypertension.. Pre diabetic, triglycerides ugh super nervous I have health first

Hi Tammie! I have almost identical problems with a BMI of only 36.4. I was approved in less than a week by Humana. I think they are all easing up on their requirements. It is however nerve wracking to wait for their decision. My surgery date is June 10 th and I am beyond excited. Keep in touch!AHHHH so lucky lol.. I have Health First .. My bmi is 46.7 as mentioned up there .. Let's see fingers crossed .. -
