I'm Sept 8th as well! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App That's awesome! How are you feeling about everything? I know as soon as a date was set my nerves really hit, even though I'm a 1000% sure it's the right choice.It's weird, some days I'm really anxious and that's all I think about and other days I'm like totally chill. Honestly, I'm just ready to be on the losers bench, I'm ready to be healthy, motivated, and feel good about myself. What about you? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

Congrats on making the right decision and being happy with it. It's sad that your sister in law doesn't want better for herself. Oh well *Kanye shrug* Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I can't believe how worried I was about not passing my psych eval. It was all of 15 minutes and the psychologist said I was good to go! How exciting!! Tomorrow I see my PCP for my final 6 month weigh in. Now I'm getting anxious, everything is finally coming together. I'm hoping to get my approval in the next few weeks. Words can't express how I feel right now. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

So I've been seeing my primary care physician once a month for the past 5 months as a requirement for WLS. So today I find out that my doctor hasn't been coding those appointments correctly and only one of her notes mention weight loss! I'm so frustrated and I feel like my insurance isn't going to approve me now! I'm so close, July 1st was supposed to be the end of my 6 months and now I feel like I've hit a road block! My emotions are all over the place. I'm sad, I'm angry, I'm disappointed, and I really just feel like giving up. I feel hopeless now. ???? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

She coded them as follow ups and one was coded as a problem. None of the notes mentioned weight loss. They mentioned other things. I'm just really hoping after I meet with her Friday she can go back and amend the records. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App If she didn't properly document - she needs to amend them. Follow Up or Problem wouldn't necessarily be the code submitted to insurance. There should have been an obesity related diagnosis.I totally agree. Very frustrating! Geez Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I live in Richmond, VA and I have been battling my weight the majority of my life. Just like most people I would lose about 40-50lbs but gain it back plus more. I finally made the decision to get weight loss surgery. I am very excited and optimistic about my future but there is one thing that I don't have.....a SUPPORT SYSTEM. I don't have very many friends and the friends I do have live hours away. My parents are supportive but they live 14 hours away. I found this app and have been browsing through and I'm excited to find people that can relate and can help me along the way. Next month will be the end of my 6 month supervised diet requirement. I have met my surgeon and a nutrionist. The only other requirement needed is my psych evaluation. I'm soooo close! Im hoping to get approved and get a surgery date in August. ☺ Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App

Yeah that's a good point. I love amazon! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App

So I'm reaching out to see what kind of things I can start buying so that I'm not dishing out all kinds of money last minute before I have surgery hopefully in August. What kind of things can I stock up on now? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App
