WonderWhat

Hi everyone. I have an appointment for a consult with a surgeon in 3 weeks. I've decided after this past year of diligently working out (5 or 6 days a week), and sorta-kinda eating okay, to only lose a grand total of almost nothing, I am about to give up. I'm afraid I'm not overweight enough for my insurance to approve it. I told a friend this the other day. She had gastric bypass surgery years ago. I told her, "I almost want to stop working out and just start eating so that I can be a BMI of 40 by the time I see him (where it would be approved). She said, "oh, that is so common. People do that all the time." Do they? I am so sick and tired of trying so hard to get nowhere.

My appointment is tomorrow. I'm going in fully loaded (with a full tummy and lots of water. And pockets of change, lol). I have no idea how much I weigh. I don't have a home scale, so I guess I'll find out tomorrow! Just a little nerve-wracking.

My ankles are always sore, and my right knee crackles loudly. Neither of those things have a diagnosis to go along with them. My husband says I used to have sleep apnea, but the working out has made it go away. I never did have that officially diagnosed, either. I do get acid reflux, and that is on my chart. I have a gyne appointment tomorrow to check on a thing that might qualify (vaginal childbirth messes you up! Lol). I didn't think about having heavy things *on* me...
