Great job. Congrats on all your hard work.

Exciting! Congrats

Congratulations! Best wishes

And tomorrow is Jan 6th! !Consult Day! I'm pretty excited to meet with my Dr. and talk with the NUT.

Weight gain has been my concern too. The weight I lost in the first month, I have gained back in the last two months. Good Luck Rtbrewer2, Hope you get approved.

Sorry to hear you don't have much of a support system Ojibway... my family doesn't really want me to have it either.. but I'm still going doing it. My family and friends will have to learn to support me.. I've taken care/supported them, the can suck it up and do the same for me. Lol best of luck to you.

Wow there are people for MI on here.. from Traverse, not sleeved yet. Hope you are doing better today. And good luck sunshine, hope you get approved!

Good to hear!

Best of Luck!

Lmfao. I'm stupid! I hope you got a laugh like I did.

Stop taking what?.. (im still pre op)

Like, there's a like of people waiting to take pictures?

prayers for you and the Doc & Co. taking care of you today. Best of luck!

I see. I am not telling my work or anyone I know.. but im still going to stay in the hospital just in case i have any issues.

@VGB. I agree with TFJ. If the cost is the same. Id stay at the hospital... good luck to you!

Oh wow, that's a lot of work in one surgery. But also nice to get it all taken care of at once. I'm not looking forward to the gas pain. I was fortunate enough not to deal with it, when I had laparoscopic surgery before. How long do you have to have the drain?... Staples. I thought they just stitched you up..... Are you home yet? sorry for all the questions. Probably not what you want to deal with right now. Rest, walk, rest, walk and rest some more.. lol. But really, I hope you are doing and feeling better than yesterday.

Great video, Good Luck! Thanks for sharing your journey so far. I've liked and subscribed

how are you doing today? hopefully your surgery went smoothly and you are recovering well.

Congrats on having the surgery... Glad to hear everything went well.

I'm excited! I haven't even had my consult yet. lol.. Congratulations on your date! wishing you a speedy recovery!

Thanks @@scrapbasket, I will definitely get a folder started today, I have a couple documents from my PCP. I really do hope they count the time I've put into this. That would be fantastic! I'll add to my notes to talk to the coordinator at the surgeons office. I talked to my PCP about getting my records from previous visits to her. I don't think she wants to do all that. She gave me "you don't really need to do all that. That's why I put this and this in the letter". To me the letter seemed vary vague. But I guess, that's another thing to bring up with the coordinator. I don't think I have any qualifying co-morbidities. I'm borderline diabetic. I have crazy heartburn, but not sure If it qualifies as GERD and I noticed on a few post, gerd isn't really being considered a comorbidity as much. I'll find out if I have sleep apnea. My husband says I snore really loud and make crazy noises. I didn't used to snore before all this weight gain. so, well see. I'm seeing I need to be a bit more organized. Thanks again!

@@BLERDgirl Thanks!! That gave me a better idea of what's ahead for me. I've been keeping a food journal, I'll take that with me.
