Topic: On my way!
Met with the bariatric cordinator on the 16 and attended my pre-op support group meeting last night. Thursday I get to go and do all the pre-op testing! Things are moving really fast. I really enjoyed the support group meeting just wi**** was so far away from where I lived. That honestly makes it kind of difficult to attend. So excited and according to the cordinator my whole procedure is coverered at 100% between my two insurances. God has really helped line this all up. Thanks for listening!

Topic: I have made it to Onderland!!
hey guys!!!!!
Yes I know it has been awhile since I have been on here or even posted. Things are good, but at the same time, I have been super busy with kids, work, and school. I do try to get over here and catch up on posts when I can...but here lately, that has been impossible most of the time. Once summer gets here...I will be on here more because I will be free from school for a few months. Anyway just wanted to let u all know that I weighed in today and I have finally made it to Onderland!! I can really tell the weight loss has slowed alot these past 4 to 5 months. This was my goal to reach onderland before my appearance in my brothers wedding next weekend. I was so excited when i saw that #1 there..I had to take a pic of it.lol. Hope everyone is having a good week and keep up all of the good work!

Topic: RE: Ready to get a new surgeon!!!
Start to fin**** took about 5 months for me. I saw my PCM on 12-3-08 and was refered to the WLS program, I attended the seminar 1-20-09, got my psych eval, 2 nutrition appointmes, clearence from my PCM, EKG & blood work, EDG all done by 3-15-09 and my surgery was 5-5-09. It is a process and it can take some time. Patients is something that all WLS folks have to have.
Now if the staff is rude, I would address that with the Surgeon. And you can always find a new one if you think they are not working in your best interest.
Good Luck to ya!

I ran in to none of the difficulties you have had at WeightWise in Edmond OK. They have been nothing but nice. Everything is Explained to you. You are given goals to meet and then once you meet those goals they are ready to get you in to sugery. They have patient advocates who call you and follow up on progress and help keep you on track with goals and appointments. I would recomend them to any and everyone. Just a wonderful group!

Topic: Ready to get a new surgeon!!!
I posted a few days ago that my surgeon's office had not submitted my paperwork to insurance yet. Well they still haven't. I spoke to a lady in the office who was rather rude last week. If they could just give me a good reason why it is taking so long, I would be ok. They have told me on Mar. 29th they just got my records from my PCP, they said same thing on 6th, 12th, 15th I called this is when I told them I was disappointed, I talked to someone else she got a little stern with me. Told me even after they send it to insurance they would get it back to make sure they have all the documentation they need and they would have to send it back again. That it could take up to a month to get it all back from the insurance. My insurance covers this procedure I have already spoken with them. THIS IS FRUSTRATING!!! I know it has been 6 weeks. What upsets me is they told me on March 9th, three to four weeks!!!! I they had told me it would be 2 or 3 months fine. Don"t tell me 3 weeks and 6 weeks later be rude to me!!! How long did any of you have to wait to have surgery. Am I just being impatient?
Topic: RE: cottage cheese slider food
Joe, don't make yourself crazy about whether it is a slider food. WeightWise has us follow a different eating plan than a lot of WLS clinics use. We eat our protein rather than drink it in shake form. We avoid carbs. 1/2 cup of cottage cheese isn't going to go thru your stomach too fast.
