OK..so I am a healthy person other than being obese(is that possible??):thumbup: But anyway, I have my medical clearance and this morning, I went in for my psych eval. 500+ questions and it took me about 1.5 hours to do it. I will have to wait about 2 weeks to get those results back. I have an echo and stress testing on Monday. My last clearance will be my 3 hour nutrition class on May 11. I will have completed all of my clearances and can submit to insurance at the end of May.:tounge_smile: Hopefully, I can get a surgery date for sometime in July. I am excited and soooooooo looking forward to this. I know it won't be easy but neither is carrying around 256 pounds on a 5 ft 3 frame!!!

I had my psych eval today and let me tell you, it took forever!! If you are not crazy going in, by the time you finish the 500+ questions that you have to read and answer, you will be. I have an echo and stress test scheduled for monday and my 3 hr nutrition eval on 5 11 09. I guess we will submit to insurance sometime in May and hopefully I will be banded in July. Everything seems to be moving soooo quickly!!

Who are "these people" that you keep referring to BethfromVA?? Your posts are kind of disturbing. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but the "these people" remarks are sort of unnerving!!

Thanks yellowtopaz!! Hopefully everything will be approved soon!! I am so excited. Have you had your surgery yet? and if so, how much have you lost?
