Having the hardest time teaching myself to eat slowly
Marie2016 replied to katanne's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hear you..I have a problem with food that is not hot. I will have to re-heat food, or adjust my attitude about food cooling down. Something I have to focus on. -
Early March Sleevers, Tell us what to expect. I go March 16 ( God willing) I would love to hear first hand how you are doing. Pain level, able to sleep? Water? etc.

Veteran Sleevers, For those that had sleep apnea prior to surgery, how long did it take before you were free from the cpap from the weight loss?

Insurance approval in 24hours!
Marie2016 replied to stevencornell69's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am jealous... Still waiting on United... -
Still not approved, but I validated that the insurance company has the request. My surgeon is not concerned- told me to plan for March 16. I am not that optimistic... We shall see.
-
My surgeons office called and stated they submitted to Insurance yesterday. I plan on calling tomorrow to validate. I was told that the insurance company has 2 weeks to make a decision. They also said I am on target to still have surgery on 3/16. Nothing like waiting until the last minute. 21 days and counting..With a big maybe in my mind- due to pending approval.

What Is Your Biggest Fear?
Marie2016 replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
My biggest fear is that WLS will affect my marriage. I have a strong marriage. My husband is supportive of my decision. I read that there is a high percentage of divorces. I hope that is not the case. I think keeping communication lines open should help on this front.
