I'm hanging in there. I'm struggling with this "evaluation is over, EAT SOME PASTA!" Mentality. I'm constantly reminding myself that I could be denied for whatever reason, and then I still need to continue the evaluations until I get approved. In fact, my bariatric clinic advised me to still do one in January just in case so I don't have a break in the "consecutive" evaluations if I get a denial.

I do plan on having a "last meal" before starting the liquid diet, which is looked at pretty negatively around here lol. I know I will be able to eat whatever I want again in the future (with consequences of course!) but I haven't had sushi in 7 months ;)

Having to continue going to my PCP after my six months is up, was nothing I had considered. Thanks for the heads up. I hope everything gets approved for you quickly. And I never heard you say anything about a last meal, lol. My minds a nlank

Yeah it a bit of a headache not knowing, and having to keep scheduling appointments but I'd rather not sabotage myself before I have a definite approval! Just keep seeing your pcp until you for sure have an approval and a date scheduled.

What last meal?

Here in Ontario, many people wait 12-24 months and in some other provinces it's 3-5 years.

RNY Jan 12, 2017 Lost 137 lbs but regained 60.

77 lbs lost and counting!

Losing the regain! I got this!

Honestly though, I'd be ok with the wait if we had the kind of insurance setup as you ;)
