GUESS WHAT?!?!?!? I GOT TO 292 documented by a doctor and Dr. Maher is HAPPY with that number!

I only have 3 things really standing in my way.

*Get my therapist to call the Psych Eval Dr. at VCU

*Get my gastro doctor to fax all my files to Dr. Maher

*Get my sleep study from Norfolk General Hospital faxed to Dr. Maher

These are simple things! I am so freaking excited! Will let you all know my surgery date! <3

Hi, has anyone had Dr. Carmody with Commonwealth Surgeons at St. Mary's.

Alicia and geekgamergirl... I too am in the process of trying to get sleeved. I have Medicaid insurance so I have a check list I have to complete. I had to go to a weight loss seminar which I did on Wednesday.

Dr. Bautista, at St. Mary's hospital was the speaker that night so he is who I am going to use as well. I see them Nov 1st. Then I have my phyic evaluation Nov 15th. And I don't know when my nutritionist appointment is. Dr Bautista secretary has to make that after I see them on Nov 1st I guess. Then they will turn my stuff into insurance. I am 320 pounds. I am married with three kids and I live near Fredericksburg Virginia. And geekygamergirl I am a girlgamer as well. Call of duty baby!!!! Lol wishing u lots of luck Alicia on ur surgery on the 31st!!! and geeky I am so happy you finally lost enough weight to get ur surgery. High fives all around.... now it's my turn for the waiting game

[GeekyGamerGrrl 7]

AnnaVGS! Welcome to the thread! <3 Nice to meet another gamergirl! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!!!

So heres my update... Im stalled. I am waiting anxiously for my freaking therapist to talk to the Psych Doctor. And she hasn't done it yet! I asked her to do this over a month ago!!!! WTF?!?! GAH!!!

So at anyrate, I am still awaiting my date.

[AnnaBanana 3]

Dang... so your still waiting eh?.... is there anything you can do like Alicia was doing she was always calling and asking and looking into stuff to try and get the ball rolling.

Maybe we will be sleeved around the same time. Lol... who's your insurance under?
