[sbake11 30]

Yeah it was long and boring really. He just asked me personal questions about my childhood and adulthood life and typed it all out. And let me go. When I left he told me good luck with my band (: one more apt to go then just habe to wait for insurance to approve. And that apt is on thursday of nxt week ((:

@@sbake11 wondering if you have had a surgery date set yet? We are at about the same point in taking care of all of our appointments. My psyc eval is next week. One more appointment with the obesity counselor and my referral reads like it's approved for the visits and the surgery. Best Wishes!

I have my last apt with the dietician tomorrow and then its just a waiting game. (:

Turn that frown upside down @@sbake11! Look how close you are. Think of where you will be a year from now. That's what I'm trying to use for my motivation today. A year from now, how will I feel? A whole lot better! Here's to us, keep in touch.

I am anxious lol. They submitted it to insurance today! !! Ill know soon. And then I have to take a pre op class. And have 2 apts idk what they are but then I'll be a bandster!!!! I can hardly wait! !! I have yet to tell anyone about it except my husband and a few select people.

Ive been super selective in telling anyone as well. My husband, my sons, my boss, my mom, one sister, BF at work. That's it. Im going shopping today for my pre & post op needs, gearing up. I want to be ready when they give me the go word.

[sbake11 30]

Yeah. I already have the shakes. I got them 2 months ago. Im not liking this waiting game. Lol its only been a day and im already ready to know. Ha. Im just way to anxious and ready for this life style change (:

Ok, so today was my visit with the psych doc. That didn't go so well. First thing they wanted was $500.00! Seriously, can we say miscommunication?

If I was there for one set of questions it would have been a different amount but for "clearance" for WLS, $500.00 in advance.

I told them never mind, I just realy don't have the support system at home anyway, I'm thinking I really need to pull this off the burner. After the staff discussed things with the doc, they took me anyway for consultation since I had a referral. (Tri-Care, my co-pay today was $25.00).

I'm definately pulling the plug on this. As I said, I just don't have the support at home and I know I can't do it alone. I face crazy amounts of sabotage at home and I just need to make peace with that and keep eating right and not visit old habits. I wish you all well

Good luck to you. We do need to be really ready to make this change. I wish you the best.

Don't give up, Karen! Forget the ppl at home & do YOU! You may be able to get clearance from another site, after all, it's your insurance that's requesting it, not the center. Call your insurance and ask for a list of docs and start calling them... Keep fighting!!!
