Thank you all for the encouraging words and I am so glad that we have a place we can share with others that understand what we are going thru.

I am doing a trial run on the pre-op diet that my doctor gave me and I know that sounds wired , but I just wanted to see how strong and committed I could be.. it will probably be close to the end of the year before I have it done.. u have to submit labs and clearance from my primary physician. . I also have to pay my part I owe the doctor before he preforms the surgery.. so that means I will have to either use some sort of credit or save up and pay it with cash..

I made it thru the first day without cheating , but I just hope that by the end of the week I can say I can do this before and after surgery

Well this is my first day and I just pray that I make it to the end of this week without wanting to give in..

Thanks I needed to hear that Susan

Today is my first office visit and I am a little nervous and excited! I have been praying for this day , in hopes that he can help me get on the right track of being healthy once again. I also have been praying that my insurance will approve me for RNY and it doesn't take them months to make a decision.

My visit went great! I have to get some paper work together from my primary doc and sleep doc along with going to a support group class.. before insurance will approve my surgery. Once I get approval my hold up will be the money I have to pay before the surgery is preformed.

Hi I am new to this site and would love to hear anyone's advice on how to tell your spouse that you are going to a weight loss surgeon and very much considering the surgery. My husband is a little jealous and I really don't know how to tell him that I am going thru with this surgery .. I need some advice. . Thanks in advance!

Thank you all for your kind advice! I am going to talk to him and invite him to my appointment. . He probably won't go but at least I asked him to go

I have that same question... I have bc/bs local government
