How did you compensate for being fat? Will you change when you're thin?
newmebithebypass replied to VSGAnn2014's topic in Rants & Raves
I think for the first question I don't really compensate for being fat I like what I like. I'm a big geek. Like huge I run in geek circles and go to conventions with my friends and spouse. And all my friends are geeks. As for changes when I get thin the only thing I think will change will be my sex life. And I'm a kinkster so once I lose the weight I can enjoy my kinky side more -

newmebithebypass replied to betterme38's topic in Insurance & Financing
Luckily I have a NP that works with bariatric patients and she is awesome so you might want to look into that -
I received a form from my insurance company. You can call them and ask if they have a bariatric Coordinator if they do there might be a form that your insurance can send you

newmebithebypass replied to lovelylala's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I've told my hubby and his entire family and they frankly just rock they are all in the medical field and know how much I need to do something about this weight so they are all on board and I told my one best friend she's supportive my gaming group because their our closest friends and would know somethings up with my eating and I told my dad.

Regretting it already..(day 1)
newmebithebypass replied to ZombieQueen's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had a major surgery to correct a problem in my ear back in July and I am having the same thing done next week and while it's not nearly as major as the sleeve surgery its pretty big. All I can say is yes walk walk walk. You will feel like garbage until you do and get your fluids in. Also for anyone about to get surgery ask for the patch that goes behind your ear to prevent nausea its fucking magical -
I am officially half way done my 6 month wait for insurance purposes I only have 3 more visits and even though I've only lost 4 pounds I feel good about the changes I've made in my lifestyle to get ready for this surgery. I'm not gonna lie the liquid diet scares me but I can do anything for two weeks I love my nutritionist she rocks I've been with her from the beginning and I gotta say I'm in good hands

end of year surgery and insurance coverage
newmebithebypass replied to abtenney419's topic in Insurance & Financing
i work in insurance so i can answer your question usually authorisations are good for a amount of days say 30 60 or 90 days so if you got your approval say december 12 it would be good 90 days from that date. the surgical clearnaces i work with are usually good for 6 months at a time and blood work is usually good for 1-3 months at a time hope this helps -

My a1c was in the 8 ish range before taking the victoza. I also tried trulicity but found the needle to be too painful and stopped after 3 weeks. The needles for victoza are very thin smaller then those for testing my blood sugar
