Frustr8 7,886 Posted July 29, 2018 Oh it is, it is. After going through another program (Curses be upon Them!) not once but twice, quite a. twisted story there, I joined OSU's and I SHOULD HAVE been there from the beginning back in August 2015. 2 things bad about program# 1 They wasted my time and my insurances money And Secondly,they didn't appreciate me or work with me for success. But No Never Mind, I'm where I should have gone in the first place and THEY are WONDERFUL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nic C 46 Posted August 1, 2018 Welcome! I am new here also. and the same age! I have found reading these boards to be really helpful. Everyone has been super nice, too! Thanks pugmom!

Nic C 46 Posted August 1, 2018 I had my consultation this morning and per my insurance, I need to do a 4 month diet along with the psych evaluation and lab work for approval. The surgeon recommended me for the RNY which wasn't my first choice but I guess it makes sense considering the amount of weight I need to lose and my lifestyle. Overall, I'm excited for the process, even with my birthday being in the middle of the 4 months.Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app 2 LauriW and Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LynnV1964 134 Posted August 14, 2018 I know! Hope you get your date soon too! They were going to schedule me for 9/14 but that was1 day after the season opener for the Bengals (we have season tickets) and there was no way I was going to be on Clear Liquids during that game! Lol! 😂 The rest of the season....sure! But give me one last game. Priorities you know ...😝 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
