2 months down, 4 to go!!

I had my 2 month appt for my weight loss program yesterday! It has went by so fast!! But I still have 4 more to go! I come on this site EVERYDAY to read and learn about this surgery. I have learned so much, and as much as I complain about having to wait this 6 months it has been an eye opener for me. Its the holiday season so these last few months should fly! (hopefully)  I asked my PCP what she was recording for my weight loss and she said; height, weight, BMI, temp, BP, and my eating habits and exercising.  I think that should be good for my ins comp right??

Today I have my first appt with my surgeon's nurse! I am excited about that! I don't know what they will be doing, but I do know that its s step closer to me having my surgery! Woohoo! Thanks OH fam for all your support! It means much more to me that I can express.....

The 6-month diet/insurance delay tactic is a good opportunity for you to examine yourself. Surgery is a big deal. As much as I complained about that particular 6 months, it was a good time to learn all I could about the surgery. (The 6 months after that when my medical group yanked my chain regularly with my preop testing was another story.)

Learn all you can about the surgery and all your options. Examine your brain and teach yourself ways to counteract all the bad behavior that got you where you were when you started. Start exercising (wish I would have been more serious about that).

Holiday celebrations are a huge challenge for most people. The best thing you can do there is plan ahead.

Best of luck!!!

Those 4 months will be over before you know it! Good luck at the Drs.....every test and exam is just one more out of the way!!!

Everything went by so fast for me. I even waited an extra month on the diet. It will fly by for you.

I am so excited that it is moving along for you! If you dont mind me asking how much did you lose?

Oh and the dr is recording exactly what the insurance wants.. AND if you have BCBS keep in mind that they do not care so much that you lose a lot of weight, more that you are trying. I went up and down on my pre approval diet and they still approved me.
