That's wonderful. You probably won't do well at your sleep study..because you'll be too excited to sleep.(Ha.)

Hi Delano1972 - Thanks for the support! I shouldn't be in such a rush to lose the weight - afterall, it's taken 15+ years to put it all on. HAHA. I really enjoy this website - it's good to fellowship with people who understand where I'm at in my journey. Take care, Jen

Thanks Sunbunnie! It's so great to meet people in the Omaha area that can vouch for the surgeon, and share their experiences with me. Glad to hear your experience went well. I'll definitely share my surgery date with everyone once I know. And the more prayers the better! God bless, Jen

Hi Jill - The insurance company has approved me, I've had my psych eval, and my initial consultation with the surgeon. I had to do a sleep study (as ordered by the insurance company), which really felt like a waste of time, but I guess it's better to be safe, rather than sorry. Now I suppose I wait for the results of the sleep study, and wait to hear from the surgeon. I'm not good at waiting - haha! Thanks for the support, Jen

Hi Barb - and fellow Grand Islander! I grew up in GI and graduated class of 1990. 
No date yet. I had a sleep study monday night and now I'm waiting for the results. I think this was my last step before surgery. I've found that the small changes I've made so far (eating oatmeal instead of muffins for breakfast, no soda, smaller portions, etc) has made a big difference. I'm excited for the changes to start coming. It's been great to talk to everyone online and make some friends with folks who can relate to me. I'll definitely keep you posted. Thanks, Jen

No Jean - no date yet. They first wanted me screened for any sleep disorders
, which I did this past Monday night. Now I wait for the results and hope the surgery date comes soon! It's been great connecting with people who have had surgery before. It's nice to have sisters in this journey. Hope to talk to you more. Jen
