Wondering if anyone has dealt with masshealth thru this process, wondering what it was like for you?

So I fell off the wagon and haven't been focused. I started in July and I don't know why I did I was just scared and looking for any excuse. Now I'm afraid surgery won't happen. I gained back the 10 pounds they asked me to loose. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I'm more than ready, I'm getting married this year and I'm sick of not being responsible about my weight

I'm supposed to be sleeved next month. I'm 27, my highest weight is 253 I lost 10 pounds as requested I'm 243 .. A nurse told me today after surgery down the road after I loose weight, and I'll be saggy and my face will age badly. ????

@caprice this lady seriously said that to you? What a jerk. She's a nurse and is supposed to help and encourage. Try not to let people get to u. I'm not one that let's people get to me. When you feel this way jump on and talk to us about it. People are going to be mean. This nurse is probably jealous that she can take control of her life like you have. I have a saying that I would love to share with you- "ignore the noise". All negative thoughts, things, and mean things people say just ignore it and keep your eye on the prize. Congrats on losing that 10 pounds!! Awesome start!! Thank you so much! I like that saying a lot, it's so frustrating. I just wanna do this so I can be healthy. I was never this heavy. I started packing on the pounds after my dad died then I got diagnosed with h pylori and polycystic ovary syndrome. Now I just hate going out cause I'll have to feel gross in cloths. She said she wanted the surgery too but stopped when she found out she couldn't eat and drink at the same time!

And I'll need my boobs done

So today was my last appt with mental health, she gave me the clearance as I lost the 10 pounds needed (how I did that I'll never know) also she was telling me to save my money now cause girls my age (27) wanna get there boobs down cause of the sagging, she also said to be very afraid of saggy skin. I know why I want this , I know I wanna be healthy have more energy look amazing for my wedding next year and carry a baby (I have pcos) but from one point of view I'm on board ready for surgery tomorrow but the other half of me is like this 2 week liquid diet will suck, I'll be in so much pain, I'll have saggy boobs and skin I'll never be able to eat again Maybe I'm just freaking out cause surgery is next month? No mean comments please!

I see my last mental health Tuesday, and then my last NUT appt is the 28th of September. Nurse said looking at an October date .. Who gave you your date?

I'm In melrose!

I'm Having surgery with doctor lane out of lmh!

Why can't I drop this 10 pounds my doctor wants me to loose, I lost 7 from my appt 2 weeks ago. I stepped on the scale today and I gained those 7 back. Wtf? Is it my PCOS. Why can't I do anything to help myself. Im doing everything to a T! It's not like I'm lazy I'm a nanny and I chase kids all day. I'm so annoyed. And I have my last appt with mental evaluation next Thursday. And I'm scared of her . She's the one who told me to loose the 10 pounds. The NUT and NP are happy with my progress. I can't win

October I believe ????????

I have a big Italian family, I am due for surgery in October. What is the restrictions for seafood. has anyone tried fish or clams? Shrimp?

Last nut appt September 20th, predicting surgery for October . I am practicing not drinking while eating (wicked friggen hard) I am using the elliptical machine and started doing core training so I won't sag (my biggest fear ever) is there anything I can do the month before to prepare myself more?

So my insurance doesn't require any specific amount to be seen by the NUT, I've seen her twice and have one more to go. I'm almost at my goal weight for surgery ... I started this journey in July. They think surgery in October. I'm just nervous, I've done all my research , joined a support group. Come on here all the time . I'm ready for my new like and to have more energy I'm just so nervous

Great question!!!!!

I'm 20 minutes out from boston! I live in melrose! Just started my journey! Woohoo

Ladies after surgery did you loose your boobs? Sorry if this is TMI. I'm just new to this and started my pre op doctors appointment.

So surgeon said surgery should be in November... So I've been working out to loose 10 pounds before surgery. And trying to not eat and drink at the same time ... I'm having some doubts. What if I can't ever go out for an ice cream again., or how am I not gonna eat and drink at the same time. Did anyone ever have these doubts?

It's exactly how I feel. My fiancé is super supportive, he explains how we'll split an ice cream and how happy I'll be to be healthy. I'm just so afraid. I enjoy eating with friends and I love to cook. I'm just having "on of those nights" Thank u so much

I live in melrose!! Going to Lawrence memorial! I have masshealth, surgery in November I believe

Yes she said well shoot for 3, because insurance requires 3-6

Had my first nut appt today and first nurse p appt.. Insurance wants 3-6 NUT visits.. It's my last thing on the list of pre op! Hopefully she doesn't drag it out to 6.. Is there a way that I can make that happen. Also is it bad my NUT isn't exactly skinny herself haha

I'm so nervous. From what I've read and seen on youtube. It's like 150 question test and they seem to deny you pretty easily . Mines tomorrow I'm nervous

Was told today by a fairly new friend that I don't deserve the surgery cause I don't do anything to better myself. She wasn't around the weeks I suffered trying to loose weight my whole life

Say mental health today. She said some things need to be paid out of pocket. But when I called insurance they say they cover bariatric surgery 100%.. I'm wondering what's not covered
