I'm submitting to insurance at the end of the month, so I imagine we'll be having surgery around the same time. Welcome!!

Thank you! How has it been going for you so far?

@@Laura62 so far, so good! I have completed my upper GI X-ray, got my letter of medical necessity from my PCP, got cardio clearance, did my blood work. In the next two weeks, I have my psych and NUT evals, and meet with the surgeon again, end will schedule my endoscopy then. My thyroid levels are off though (I'm hypothyroid), and can't get in to see my endo until the end of the month, and it takes six weeks for meds to kick in. Hopefully, this won't stall things too long!

How are things going for you?

All my pre-op tests are done. Just one last appointment with the nutritionist. I'm not losing weight lately and I'm worried they won't do the surgery.

My doc's only requirement was that weight wasn't gained. I'm not allowed to gain anywhere over 5-10 pounds of my starting weight. Does your doc require a pre-op diet? That will probably get things moving in the right direction!

Just the week before surgery. I was doing great. But, this last month was awful. I'll be fine this month...just don't want to blow my chance at a healthy start to my new life.

I am so thankful for this opportunity.

My surgery date was to be for the end of January. Didn't happen.
I was informed that it will be the end of February, beginning of March. Grrrrrrr!
Happy it's still going to happen.....but, geesh.
I'm pretty sure frustration, nerves and excitement burn massive calories. So, win win for me. :-D
