i cant believe how much info this site has given me! Big thanks to all of you who are so eager to help and offer advice! When I turned 40, I declared this "My Year!!" I would do something for myself...and so far this has been my most selfish year ever! ha! I was always skinny as kid...very boney and lanky! My weight gain came on fast because I always thought I could lose it. Both my parent's passed away in 2004...and the pounds came packing on. Depression, bad choice of food, my love for pizza and my passion for a nice cold beer all caught up with me. I turned 40, I'm 5'3" and I weigh 265lbs! ugh! I always carried an extreme confidence....and even though I was sad and unhappy with myself, my friends and family never saw this. I was the jokester and the entertainment at each get together! I always managed to dress nice but the selections are small when you are wearing a size 24 jeans! I just got tired and said "I want to walk into a regular store and grab a shirt off the rack instead of special ordering my Cleveland Cavaliers championship t-shirt and paying 3 times the $ for a plus size shirt!" So here I am..... I'm waiting on approval. I have completed 6 months of nutrition visits, I had a apnea test, scope down my throat to check for ulcers, a psych evaluation (which I can proudly say I passed -haha) and many many tubes of bloodwork. I had my stuff submitted to insurance on Sept 2. They said it would be 2 weeks. They came back right away with a denial due to the hospital not being Accredited, which it is. So they went back to the insurance company...and I am sitting here waiting. They are super quick to come back with a denial but don't mind taking their time for approval. I'm a nervous wreck!! I stare at my phone all day waiting for the call. I keep logging on to my insurance website hoping I can see something positive. That's my story...I appreciate reading all of your journeys, all of your suggestions and all the info you all provide. thanks for reading! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

hi friends, I am searching for the best Protein shakes! I have heard Premier is pretty good....they are sold at my local Sams Club. Are there any others you would recommend? Also...are there any sites that offer free samples to try before you buy? and...while I have you....what Calcium supplements are you taking? thanks in advance!!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

@nikkicee. how are you feeling? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

thanks...someone mentioned getting a type of girdle thing...to hold your belly tight...is this something anyone recommends? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

update!! got my approval this morning and broke the news to my employer that I will be out for 6 weeks! Still letting him soak in that shock!! I have scheduled my surgery for Oct 26....so i have time to get my desk in order for my time away! thanks friends for all your kind words of support! ok...now I need to make my lists and get my stuff in order. Anyone recommend anything that is not the standard: chewable Vitamins, broths, jellos.....anything that you thought was helpful? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

waaah!! so today I discovered I am approved, well kinda...and have been approved for quite awhile! Apparently the doc office gave a specific surgery date instead of a few weeks time frame. So the insurance company was waiting on the doc office to update them , but doc office had no clue they were waiting on them! Are you kidding me?!?! So I am currently approved for OUTPATIENT surgery, ya know, rip into my stomach, reroute my guts and send me out the door! So now the doc office is talking to the insurance for inpatient surgery.....bwhahaha this is so emotionally exhausting!!! stay tuned ...next episode of this sitcom soon! thanks for listening to me complain...Happy Monday!!!

update...insurance company still shows nothing pending for me called the doctor back...they still have not resubmitted this sucks...I really thought that I would be waiting on the insurance....not my doctor's staff and their issues with submitting the claim. this has been going on since 9/2 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

wow...fabulous results you look lovely! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App
