I got a date

Finally....After running from Abq to El Paso and all around to different doctors the day I thought would never come...is coming!. Sept 4th! I have been exercising like a maniac and really following a good nutritious diet!  Sorry guys, "I'm so excited and I just can't hide it"...ok now I'm getting a little corny so it's time to get ready for this "time of my life" oh, I can't stop!! I'm doing show tunes!!

WOO HOO! Congrats! thats awesome! My 2 week pre-op appointment is on the 5th. Goodluck!

Thanks,  and good luck to you. I can't wait, but now I'm getting the nerves....shaky knees and night sweats thinking about the ...gulp...surgery. I'm working through it. It will all be worth it.

YIPPPPIE for DebbieAnn!!!  Girl, don't be sorry for being so excited, this is a wonderful journey you are starting and things will only get better.  You keep jumping for joy!!

Thanks I'm counting the days!!  I'm getting a few jitters...but I/m pretty sure I'll be alright and ready to get this party started! Thanks for the kind words.
Debbie 

I'm so excited for you. I have my initial consultation in El Paso on Sept 3. If you don't mind me asking, is you insurance covering the cost?

Congratulations! 

Thanks, I am so excited too...and alittle nervous, but I'm so happy to be moving on to this phase of my life.  I actually have my pre-op consultation on Sept 3rd at Las Palmas at
10:30 am,  and my surgery on the 4th. My insurance  is Tricare, or Triwest so far out of pocket I have paid $62.00.  My psych eval was $37.00 and $25.00 for my initial consult at Las Palmas.  I talked to Tricare and they said that I should not have to pay more than $25.00 for the surgery and they will reimburse my hotel cost, I was pretty happy about that.
Good luck to you and keep me posted, we might run into one another in El Paso!! Say a prayer for me..
Debbie

You will be in my prayers. Please post as soon as you feel up to it. Will it be Dr Lara or Dr. Acosta? Did you decide gastric bypass or lap band? I can't believe I have to make this decision. SCARY!  My insurance is Lovelace Health Plan, I'm probably looking at a six month supervised diet. At this point I really don't mind, whatever it takes. 

Good luck and keep us informed! 

Hello,

   I also had RNY with Dr. Lara......  (what a cutie)  I also had Lovelace and I did not have to do the six month supervised diet......   got approved and within a month I had my surgery.......  I am almost at goal and I love the new healthy ME>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    yippie....   it has not been easy, but so worth it.....
Good Luck...
