Good morning everyone. I am sitting in the waiting area of the endoscopy doctor, thinking about how I am progressing with my WLS journey. This is the consult appointment and I am so excited. This puts me yet another step closer to my procedure. Just wanted to thank all of you for the support via these groups, it is definitely appreciated. Have a great day.......BTW, I am aiming for an end of June/beginning of July date.

Which cruise line did your friend cruise with?

I will am a patient of his wife. They are the bariatric dream team. I have never heard of that hospital either but I believe you are in great hands.

What is the name of the protein drink. I am in the researching phase right now. Hoping for a June or July date....jjst waiting.

I have cut out pork, experimenting with "meat alternatives" (soy chorizo,chicken sausage,etc). No more cake or cookies. Doing a lot of research for the liquid diet for post op......is there anything anyone can add that might help me?

Does the approval letter come after most of your appointments? I had my initial nut appointment and appointment with the surgeon already.

I am just beginning my process. When did you begin your process? Just trying to get an idea of the time-frame from beginning until approval.

What type of insurance do you have?

After the requirements are met (i.e. endoscopy,psych eval,monitored weight loss efforts,etc) then they give you a date. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I have BCBS-NY , the paperwork says 6 supervised months, but if your "situation is serious enough" they are able to bump up the date, it just depends on what your doctor says. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I'm not in anyways saying that this is definitely insecurity. We are not there and living in your shoes....I am just noting that recovery for 1 person in the couple is actually recovery for both of you.... your recovery is physical and mental as well as emotional and his is mental. He is probably going through some mental changes in this situation too....thats all I am saying. But get some rest and keep hydrated. Hope all goes well with your recovery process. #ImNotAPsychologist #JustAnOpinion Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Maybe the jealousy thing is it. Cases do show that there is a mental change in a partner , especially if the partner has weight issues and you are in the process of "correcting" yours. It kind of sounds like he may be a little insecure about the situation. You just had surgery for goodness sake and everyone's recovery is different...you both must remember that. I am preparing ...mostly mentally to get the surgery next year and guess what....my fiancee is preparing for my surgery too. In a relationship everything is a joint effort....he has to remember that.

Is your husband overweight busy been? Could it be jealousy? Could he be worried about the new you that will come of this surgery? Or could it be that you didn't require help before so it's an adjustment for him to have to help more? Was he supportive through the pre-op process? Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App
