i'm in Queens: post op

[traceylynn 33]

That's not far at all!fallen,do you have a date yet?and ali,how has life been post op?!

[Fallenangel2904 494]

Nope no date yet, I see my surgeon on 18th to really start things. I went to a seminar back in April for his office but they had a super long wait so I'm just getting to see him now. So hopefully I can get things moving once I see him! I was told I wouldn't need to do a 6 month diet or anything, so hopefully the pre op stuff will go by fast! Are you post op Tracey?

[traceylynn 33]

Awesome!good for you...I am pre-op but had to do the 6th month weighins with my doctor!just finished my last one and have an appointment with my surgeon the 14th of this month!:)I'm very excited and haven't been nervous at all up untill this point...iv been heavy forever and was never able to loose a significant amount of weight so I'm ready for this,or at least as ready as I could be:)I'm excited for you!

[lovealways 22]

Fallenangel...what type of insurance do you have ? It'd be nice to get to avoid those 6 months of weighing in! Lol. I hope that happens for me...but at this point, I'm just waiting to get started!

Yay awesome that you got through the 6 month diet!! I know how you feel, I've been over weight my whole life, I've yo-yoed with my weight but still never got anything close to a 'normal' weight. Super excited for you too! Good luck at your appointment, hopefully you get a date soon!

I have Health First. They told me at my seminar (I talked to the nurse practicioner) most private insurences require the 6 month diet. Either way though, the time will pass one way or another. I was reading your posts and see you have your seminar in a few days- good luck!! I'm really excited and anxious to get to my appointment so I can just start all of this already!

Hey ladies! I'm in Manhattan and I have health first too @ Fallen Angel. ( do you need the 6-month approval letter)

I'm getting my sleeve done at Columbia Presbyterian.

I had my Upper Endoscopy done today!

This has truly been a roller coaster ride!

I have to friends who got it done in May and they are both already 50lbs down!!!!

[Fallenangel2904 494]

Hey Beba. I'm not sure about the 6 month approval letter. I've only been to the seminar at this point and when I asked them about my insurence they told me that the 6 month diet isn't required....so I guess I'll see when I go on the 18th and talk to the surgeon!

Congrats on doing the endoscopy! I'm scared of that procedure lol. Your almost there! I hope you get your date soon!

[traceylynn 33]

Maybe one day we can have a verticle sleeve party haha!the endoscopy was very interesting...I was petrified for mine!glad urs went well:)

[Fallenangel2904 494]

Verticle sleeve party haha I love it! Actually there are a lot of NYers in the NY group/threads- It would be awesome if we could have a meetup at some point!
