Hi I am Melissa 35 I weighed in this week at 330 which puts my bmi at 50 ..i tell you these things first because.. 1 i have been living a heathy and fit lifestyle ...if i were a 150lb person... and to no avail i have lost and kept off only 30lb in 5 years ive had all the blood work and scans and next saturday i goto my seminar to begin my said journey to a Rny gastric bypass..although i am excited about the added Help to my life ..i dance 3 days a week and i eat healthy.. does this surgery make me a failure ? Does this put me into the pain in the ass for my family category. .because ill be eating baby size portions and protien shakes while i am sure i will also then be as i am no looking at everyones portions even tho healthy a little closer.. i am not scared about the after effects in which i can prevent like dumping and the blocking but ...just dehydration and being tired...which i know will have to be worked through..anyways sorry this is so long ..i have done way to much research and reading and videos and browsing because i wasnt looking for surgery my dr said it was the only option left or wait for the health issues to start im 35 and i have zero health issues ..thus far *knock on wood* ..so here i go ready and willing.. but please can i have a shoulder or ear please!

I wish i myself had thought of this i just was doing the regular appointment but now im glad because your right i dont ha e huge issues YET but my knees are going and my feet swell and im guessing i may have sleep apnea. ..i talked to my insurance today and the were just like submit the request ...thats it i asked d or more info the say request the procedure then we will see what needs to be done ...smh annoying i thought thats what had been done...ugh i guess we are back to the basics

Lol i have a fav water bottle ...and i have a strick diet and water intake now due to a migraine medication and i am good at following schedules and routines. ..i think i am a very huge mess in the mind department as u said a mile a minute man maybe if i had considered surgery before i had walked in that day..do you know how i might go about finding out more about my insurance qualifications. .i read everything i could find and called them they basically said i would find when my pcp applied ugh i dont want a huge let down but i did read that the higher bmi get easier results

ty your right ..i dont want to wait i just want support my soon to be hubby and kuds are supportive but im sure you under when i say they dont get it..

Good luck skc72... have you started your preop diet ? What kind of research have you done? Waiting ?insurance etc... im very nervous on the wait and insurance fronts..
