April Dates

[Dorian 683]

I got Pre-registered at the hospital today and paid my $1,200 co-pay (ouch!) they said everything is a go for April 8th. I managed to start back on my exercise routine today too....I had been slacking. The Celebrate Vitamins I ordered came today. I got the chewable multi, Calcium, and Iron. I already have some sub-lingual b-12 from my PCP. I also got my tubs of Syntrax Nectar Protein Powder for the 2-week clear liquid stage post-op--fuzzy navel and Twisted cherry flavors. getting everything ready makes me less anxious.

OUCH is right!! I dont have to pay anything up front, just set up a payment plan. At least this is what the nurse told me, I guess I better make sure at my appt on the 27th. It does feel good to be getting ready huh? I only need a food scale, (do I REALLY need?), and some new flip flops for the hospital! (i hate slippers)

All of this payment stuff is starting to freak me out! I haven't been told anything about making any kind of payments... I thought that's what the insurance coverage was for? Should i be freakinf out and selling my car or something? Lol 12 days!!! Can't even believe it!

Hi! I am Amber, I am 27, and this is my first post here. I will be having surgery in April, and will find out the exact date this week. I am going through a military hospital and had several requirements to take care of before my final appt. 3psych visits, 4 nutrition visits, visits to a wellness center, and with the surgeon. Started the process on Jan. 23rd, so it hasn't taken all that long. Was able to forgo the 6-month diet since it is being done on post. I am so excited! This can't happen soon enough. I have chosen to not tell people about the surgery(other than my husband and mom). I am the "fat" one in a family of skinnies, lol, not looking to be judged or be called lazy. Pre-op diet is is 2 weeks of calorie restricted food consumption, then the typical post-op diet. I'm not going to lie, I just really want to be "skinny", tired of being the chunky mom at my daughters school. I have no co-morbidities, and technically no longer qualify for the surgery since I have lost a bit of weight, luckily the go by my initial weigh-in which put me at 40.1 bmi. I wasn't overweight until I got married. Wow, this seems more like a biography, lol. Well, here's to looking better and feeling better about ourselves!
