  1. I am still in the process of getting my full approval for the sleeve. My surgeon has agreed to do the surgery and I have gotten the green light from the dietitian just have to pass the psyc eval in a week. I am barely making the cut off for my BMI though and worry I will loose too much weight before surgery and get denied by insurance. I don't have any comorbidities and already have dropped to 40.7 BMI. I know the only way I will get to my goal is through surgery. I have failed so many exercise, diets, and medications. I am always able to drop about 30 pounds only to stahl out and gain it all back and then some. My anxiety has gotten out of control. I worry about everything. I reached out to someone I know who had bypass but was ignored. She read my message but never responded. Please help!!

    Yeah the stage 2 intimidates me a bit. Mostly because of work though. My work provides lunches so it's a bit of a mind game to bring my own lunch. I feel like I am giving up pay in a sense because I am not using a benefit. But I should be home for all of that.

    Thank you for the encouragement. I do know that I won't have to do the liquid diet prior, which I am super stoked about. I'm not worried about the post op liquid diet because I know that I will be in pain and feel like crap so I'm sure I won't feel like having anything more than liquid. The reason I am concerned about my BMI is because of the way the insurance company has the prior auth worded. I'm a nurse and have access to what my doctor has access to, which in some cases is not so great - like this. I tried to call the insurance company and they were very vague with me and told me to talk to my Dr. unfortunately I just haven't heard back yet.
  5. I really need to expand my support group. My husband is wonderful as well as my mother and step mother but I need someone outside my family. Someone who can relate to the feeling of anxiety and fear that I am going through.
