No, I haven't had the procedure yet. I have one more month of the supervised weightloss before the paperwork is submitted by my surgeon's office. I live in Alexandria and my doctor is in Lafayette. Where are you? Have you started the process yet?

Yes I've started the process , i live in covington and today I just got a call from my pcp that he was going to write my letter and after that I need a pysch eval. ... I did all my blood work , EKG , stress test ect but I don't have the six month supervised diet but the lady at my surgeon office that deal w the process said not worry about it .. And my insurance company does not require you to any health issue as long as your Bmi is 40 cus I don't have any besides a hiatal hernia and acid reflux do to that ..

It's sounds like your approval should be coming soon! I was told I had to do the 3 month supervised diet. The diet has been Meal Replacement shakes! This month I move to 2 shakes a day. Yuck! My last check in will be in June. I've had a gallbladder ultrasound, the psych eval, lab work, a sleep study, and the pre op EGD. My BMI is over 40 and I have hypertension, sleep apnea, and arthritis. The surgeon's office told me that the paperwork will be submitted to the insurer in June. Pray for me and I'll pray for you.

Everyone goes to Covington for surgery. Which one are you using?

I know what you mean about what people say. One of my friends said today that she's hoping I don't have the surgery!! What kind of crap is that?! I don't think I'm a bad looking woman and I've always been fairly confident. I just think that she might be afraid that if I lose enough weight, I will REALLY be the bomb!! Either way, I've decided to stop discussing the issue with her. She's kinda getting on my nerves!!
