second appointment

[tashalynn 1]

I just had my second pre op appt.

Im nervous about getting thw surgery. I took four months off from weight checks to see if i could loose on my own and i only lost a lb a month

I only weigh 215 lbs im worried about how much i will.loose and sagging skin.. as well as a liquid diet.

Im also worried that i will go thru all six visits and then be denied by my insurance due to co morbidities. I dont have pre diabetes or high bp.. i havnt gotton my sleep study yet..

Just looking for some encouragement, maybe someone my weight who has gone through it..

It's a lengthy process but well worth it. It took me 11 months to get my surgery and I found out I had severe sleep apnea at my sleep study. I am now almost 6 months post-op and feel amazing and you will too. This is the hard part, trust me...so hang in there!

The monthly check ins are the worst! I have number three of my insurance company mandated four coming up, tomorrow and it is driving me crazy! Enough of the fiddling around, already! I know that I want to do this. Stop torturing me, let's get it on. I am not supposed to loose or gain much weight during this process. Wut??? Of course, since I am not supposed to lose weight, suddenly, I want to but since I am not supposed to, I am eating like a horse on fire and am afraid I will gain too much and... I'll find out how I'm doing, tomorrow, I guess.

Aaaarrrgh!
