That's so exciting!! You are on your way!!

I'm waiting for my insurance approval--and then I'll get scheduled, too. I'm excited and nervous, have been really focusing on trying to improve eating habits, etc.

Wishing you luck! Please let me know if you find the pre-op lists...I'm going to go look for them now =)

Thank you so much for your kind words!

You know how much longer it will take for your approval?

You're on the right track by focusing on improving your eating habits. I have been trying to do the same, it's a little difficult but once you start and dedicate yourself you can totally do it!

Were you able to find that pre-up lists?

Just found out that I'm APPROVED!!! I'm fairly sure I'll be scheduled for June (if not sooner---eeek!). Just got the letter from my insurance today, so I'll be talking to my doctor's office on Monday. I'm thrilled and a little scared but mostly HOPEFUL! Go Junies!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
