Hello my name is Melissa. I'm new to the forum. I was just approved through Molina for a case manager and i have my first phone meeting with her on Friday. Tomorrow i will go to the informational meeting. In not sure if i expected to be approved so when i find out today i am really excited and really nervous. I've been reading posts from people on this site so I've gathered a lot of insight. And i believe this forum is going to be a life saver for me. I have supportive friends but they don't really understand what I'm going through.

Thank you!

Thank you for the support and advice. I have to be nicotine free two months before surgery and i have also been smoking 30years. I'm not quite as worried about quitting i know i can. With the carbs and sweets....well, it seems that the more i think about not eating them i want to eat them. And I'm not usually a big sweets persons. Carbs yes. I think i have mental issues!! LOL

Hello. So far i have an appointment to meet my surgeon next month on the19th. I have to get prior auth for dietitian and physical therapy before they set me up with appointments. I've been trying to cut down on What i eat and trying to eat less junk. But it seems like that's the go to food. I need to change that! Also i have to stop smoking or i will be denied surgery. My main problems are eating too fast and eating junk also eating too much. I keep thinking about what i have to change and it seems to make me went to eat more. I sure could use some advice. I'm just starting out. Haven't met with anyone yet.
