That's exciting! I'm doing fairly well. As long as my EGD goes fine on Tuesday and my final cardiac testing comes out normal tomorrow, I should have all my requirement met by Feb 16 and can submit to insurance! I didn't realize it was getting so close. My insurance didn't specify a length of time for the supervised dieting so we're going to submit after 3 months and then I'll keep doing the appointments just in case they come back and say they want 6.

I was nervous about my EGD as well but to be honest I didn't remember anything after and I felt no kind of pain...I had to do 6 appointments but they went by more quickly than I had imagined they would...You in Columbus going to his office or Lagrange?

I noticed that you put in your name as Starting Over. Well, I had my sleeve on June 23rd & have reached my goal weight. My husband asked me to come down to have my pic taken for his family. I said OK but hated to have my pic taken since I can't remember. I saw the pic. Well, I don't have a behind anymore & didn't have to suck my gut in. So amazing that I don't mind anymore.

I'm in Senoia and drive to his Lagrange office. Finally finished my cardiology testing and will have that clearance letter Friday. EGD was today and it went smoothly. Will know the results in 2 weeks. I'm getting anxious and a little nervous all at the same time.

I can't wait for that moment. I hate my pic being taken. I actually cancelled having our family Christmas pic taken because I was disgusted with myself. Although I am worried about losing most or all of my butt... that's the only nice thing I've got. Lol. Guess I'll be doing lots of squats to try and keep it looking good at least.

Congrats on reaching your goal weight!

I can't wait for that moment... I'm going to be very anxious but I think mostly excited. My poor hubby will be a nervous wreck. He was freaking out about me having the Egd and being under 10 mins. I can't itmagine how crazy he's going to be on surgery day.
