I AM APPROVED!

I called the ins. co. today ( I have been calling 2x a day lately) and the rep. told me that the letter was being mailed today.

I called surgeon's office and I have a band date of Sept.9 , holla!

Thank you all for your prayers.

FYI: it took approx: 2 1/2 weeks to get approval. (not bad considering they lost some of my info.)

You need to go buy your little black inspiration freakum dress for the holidays

Hmmm I have been eyeballing this dress at babyphat.com and I really really want it, although I can't fit it yet (not even close, I don't have a band yet). I'm sure it will be sold out by the time I lose the weight. The dress is 69.00 you guys think I should buy it now for inspiration?

YEP! go buy it.....so when it's 97 degrees and 95% humidity and you don't want to work out....the dress can give you a little push in the right direction.

Angel... you better buy that dress and hang it in the front of your closet for inspiration. I recently joined the gym and was working out on the stepper and was tired (it was the last of three machines) my goal was 15 minutes each and I tell you that third machine after two minutes I was beat. But I closed my eyes and kept saying "skinny body, skinny body, skinny body) and finished my last 15 minutes.....LOL

April..my six months is up on September 3rd..so I'm right behind you. My plan is to schedule my nutrionist appointment on September 3rd and Surgeon Appt on Sept 4th..Do I sound pressed ....

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
