Well I went and I wasn't put on schedule lol but I did get to see dietician.

2 days later seen nurse and psych and scheduled with surgeon.

I started Protein shakes for Breakfast as a beginning to start. I'm at a rock for weigh loss now because I'm limited as my insurance does bmi at surgery request , not bmi at beginning. I'm at 41 but with comorbities I can go (she suggested 36) so it was 35 and give them an excuse to exclude for that.

Everyone has been great and they were super excited that I had my planned things printed out history meds docs surgery their requirements and insurance requirements already. It made things very smooth! lets kick ass this 6 months to get to the date !!! I deserve it, my family deserves it

Just a follow up I had my other appts

Started slowly changing up foods etc (as I have a strict # to stick around and not lose too much)

I have an at home sleep

Study and was told that I need oxygen ???? So they are going to send that info to my cardiologist and my WLS

[Shanni1269 73]

they haven't made me do the sleep study..thank goodness cause my husband would swear I have sleep apnea..but i dont want another thing to hold my surgery up. i have an endoscopy this week and then 1 more weigh in on the 12th..

Still working on getting my surgeon to submit for authorization. Last hoop....check.

Such a draining process, but I try to tell myself they make you go through everything to weed out the weak and make sure that they truly dedicated ones push through.

[Brittneysue12345 18]

Yes !!! I still have months to go. But glad to get it done soon so no holds later
