June 2014 Dates!?

[cutiepieinchi 158]

I have my psych evaluation this Tuesday the 29th. Does anyone know what kind of questions they ask? Pretty sure they just want to make sure people are having the surgery that have eating disorder tendencies and such...

Went for my first insurance weigh in on April 21st....lost 10 lbs since my initial appointment on March 20th!!! I was shocked. I high fived the nurse haha. Need to lose 3 more lbs to be at the 5% loss for insurance.

A little worried because I am going on vacation to Florida May 18th - 23rd and I don't want to gain any vacation weight!!!!

I had a bit of a different experience . I went in the doctors office. He asked me my goals after surgery and that was it. It was so simple! I know some people have to take tests and such.

Ladies we are getting closer. We just have to get through the month of may and then June will be here. I want to try to lose 10 pounds before surgery. I am going to go to the gym and watch my diet more. I am 275 and don't want to get any higher if at all possible.

I got my date! Surgery is scheduled for June 10th!!

I am very excited, but my insurance has not approved the surgery yet. Has anyone else had this happen? My surgeon's office told me that the insurance would not approve it until the Dr scheduled it. I am afraid to get my hopes up, afraid they won't approve it.

I really hope that my surgery goes as planned!!

Drummer girl, I'm sure you will be all set. Your doctor seems to feel it medically necessary so insurance should approve. I am the day before you. 2-3 days in the hospital then home to start life all over. My area has monthly support groups that help us out as well. They are given by other patients and offer so much support. I have last 8 lbs so far.

Drummer girl- my surgery is scheduled for May 6th, but my insurance hasn't approved either. Even if I get approved I am having my surgery in June. My insurance requires a date of service in order to complete my file. I am confident that I will get approved, but I do have the fear that I will be denied even though I have met all the requirements and then some.

In my evaluation we just talked so he could determine if I was stable. He asked about my family worries fears and why I wanted to have the WLS. Then you do the evaluation test 580 questions. They called me back to do give me tge results and sign the approval letter before he sent it to the surgeon.

Thanks Zelda 205 and jtickle for the info! I will look into starting with a support group now, I was going to wait until after surgery but now is a great idea.

The countdown to a new life begins now ladies!!

I am scheduled for June 10th. It can't come fast enough. I am SO ready to be on the other side, the loosing side. I just have to make it through these next weeks. I am suddenly craving things I never usually eat.
