  5. DoodlesMom, I wish there were more men like him out there. I wish more men & women making a change like we all are had a spouse/significant other as supportive as I have. Sent from my LM-Q730 using BariatricPal mobile app
  6. I guess my guy is a 1 in a Billion these days. He is so super supportive & his only concern with this whole process is how hot I will look after a yearish. He is worried I will want to be with someone else & I keep reassuring him that is NOT the case. We have been together 24 years & Married 23. I am 46 & he is 51. No way do I want to start all over with someone else. HW: 312 March 2020 Gallbladder surgery weight: 287 CW: 266.4 been staying on 1000-1300 calorie since I had my surgery date of 7/17/2021 which got cancelled because of my Insurance saying I had more to do to qualify.... [emoji34][emoji43] Still waiting for a Surgery date.... Sent from my LM-Q730 using BariatricPal mobile app
  7. Why isn't he on board with the surgery? Does he not want you to be healthier etc...? My hubby has been on board since we found out I am at a 52 BMI & I have an overly fatty liver. He has been to all my appointments with me and heard everything the Dr, Dietitian, Cardiologist, & Psychologist has had to say... He is even planning to do the liver shrink diet with me once COVID allows my surgery. I hope yours comes around soon. Praying for Yall. Sent from my LM-Q730 using BariatricPal mobile app
  8. Does anyone have HCA/Aetna because you or your spouse work for an HCA Hospital??? Sent from my LM-Q730 using BariatricPal mobile app
  9. Got a call from my INS yesterday & was told I have more hoops to jump through before surgery can happen. Very frustrated and hoping I can get this all finished up today, to schedule my surgery Soon. Got an appointment with my PCP to see if I have past visits that will work... Sent from my LM-Q730 using BariatricPal mobile app
  10. Insurance just recently informed me I had to show a current A1c & I had to have proof of 5 more Dr visits before they will approve. Dr office said same but it has to also be a total of 6 months not 3 months. So I did my blood work & talked with my Primary Care about 5 past visits where we discussed my weight & what I needed to do; they are submitting that info & my blood work. Fingers crossed & with God on my side, I pray I have an update next week...

  18. I had emergency gallbladder surgery about a month ago. I found out I had a BMI of over 50, & a fatty liver. My gallbladder surgeon highly recommends gastric sleeve surgery. He does bariatric surgeries as well as general. Yay me... I have begun my journey; I had my 1st dietitian appointment, done my upper GI scope, have a cardiologist appointment this week & a follow up to the upper GI this week. I am waiting to find out about the sleep study and have 2-3 more appointments with the dietitian before surgery... Was wondering what the best pre & post Op protein shakes are best as well as liquid & chewable vitamins are recommended..... Sent from my LM-Q730 using BariatricPal mobile app
