Rochelle38 when people show you who they are believe them. You were alone with them in your life you just didn’t know it, sometimes if not most it’s jealousy and for those that actually do care and just don’t understand they will either come around are they just weren’t meant to be on this journey with you, sometimes when GOD remove people from our lives we don’t understand it and it hurt but, in time you will be thankful that he (GOD) LOVES you enough to remove the Toxic ppl from your life. It’s like A non curable disease it can snatch the life right out of you don’t let it you’ll be fine and make new friends. Don’t worry be Happy 😃!

Best of Luck and may God Bless you with a quick painless recovery. Congrats!

Kristy, if you feel your sipping to fast go to Walmart and get a child's sippy cup I did this and when I finish using it I will give it to my twin granddaughters so its not a waste as they still use those.

Congrats I pray for you that you have a pleasant and quick recovery!

Congrats!

Hi Kmartin6168, I am self pay and my insurance wouldn't cover me either because my BMI was 35.2 and I do not have any Comorbodities so I paid $16,45.00 Upstate NY, although I am self pay my doctor still wanted clearance from my PCP, he required a EGD to check heart, Endoscopy (due to past Reflux issues) because I have in the past suffered from Acid Reflux, and a mini physical and labs. I just finished the last part today and I go visit my doctor again on the 22nd of September to go over everything which, I already know was party good because most of the physicians and others I did see was able to let me know right away all was well, even my labs came back today however, I don't know how to read that stuff meaning the percentages or levels rather, I guess I could call my sister and ask her since she's a doctor but, I know its all good I'm in pretty good health other then my weight issues. My 1st visit with the Surgeon was July 25th and at that time the doctor told me his only concern was my Endoscopy and labs which I know already the Endo was good the doctor that did that told me and I could compare my labs from past labs I've had I guess but I think the labs will be fine everything else I know was good. My surgery is scheduled for September 7th. I was not required to see a Psychiatrist, nor was I put on a extended wait or diet only have a 3 day pre-op diet. But to me he required a lot of the things they insurance would require, but overall he feel I'm a good candidate and said he would do it as long as those main two things were good along with my EGD which was.

Congrats

I agree with itsonly if the PCP gives you a problem switch it’s your body and your life and I don’t think you should have to suffer or get illnesses to get what you need because of his personal opinion.

Sorry meant Jaki

Kali we’re scheduled the same day! See you on the other side of the Losers scale.😀🤪

Congrats Fluffy Grandma.

Congrats September 7th.

Congrats I had mine today to and when I awoke I thought they played a trick on me and didn't do it because all I remember is talking then walking up in recovery. I thought for sure the hood winked me. LOL they all just laughed when I said that.

Today I had my main test which was the Endoscopy and the doctor that performed it said everything was normal and good and I’m super excited because I know the mini physical they will do on the 17th of August will be good and since I’m self pay, I was able to avoid all the other test mainly the Endoscopy and my PCP sending approval and labs as all my doctor required, so my date is still September 7th pending the time(AM or PM) however, my doctor don’t give that until about a week before and I’m super excited, I can barely stand the wait.

Thanks it was obviously a typo but corrected now thanks.

Thanks for the well wishes and hope you'll be up and running sooner then you think and become the biggest loser in a good way.

Thanks

See good, I’m so happy for you positive thinking and work is key. The battle is not for the swift or the strong, but for those who endure. Keep up the good work!

That is a terrible way to think going into surgery smh wow. Positive thinking is what you need to do. Slogan: Change you mind change your life.
