Run down of first app !

Well I went to my app. today and met with the dietitian, behavioral specialist and nurse. Filled out papers went over RNY bypass. Weighed me and took my height. 326.5 and lil over 5'6 no shoes on.

The nurse thinks things should go by pretty fast for me. She thinks the insurance will be very easy to work with and they don't require a 6 month diet and since I hvae weigh****cher records then it shouldn't be a problem. And I'm over the BMI of 35 and have high blood pressure. I will have to attend a weight loss class and do a 2 week diet before surgery to try and shrink liver. I also have to have a scope ran down in my stomache and a gallbladder ultra sound to see if theres stones or not. If there happens to be stone then I gotta have it removed. I also have to have a current pap . My app is tom ! I have also had my required lab work done. I did that today since I hadn't eaten anything. They told me after the dr looks over every thing he will decide if i have to have a stress test. If things go smoothly I may get to have surgery in Oct. right around my son's fall break !!!!!!!!

So I'm hoping things will be scheduled quickly.

Holli, you may also want to measure your ankles and wrists, I have lost weight there, I can also wear bracelets and rings now that has been in my jewelry box for years, I mean one ring I have I didnt wear since high school, and it fits now.  I wear smaller shoes now also, it is funny where all you lose weight after the surgery, and dont be afraid to start buying you some smaller clothes at yard sales, I never thought I would see a 16 again, but I am in them now, and last year I would have never dreamed it. so don't be afraid to buy you some smaller clothes for this winter and next summer.
