Got a surgery date
Hey RS, I pray your day is blessed and in preparation to receive and achieve all that is in store for you. Beloved I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.Well guys I met with Dr. Johnson on today it was very brief! He actually remembered me from the seminar- I've only attended uhm four seminars or so. LOL I had alot of question. If you remember I started my journey with the intent to get the LB simply because I was petrified of surgery however after having my gallbladder removed along with the transparency and suggestions of others on this site Im convinced that my change in choice is best. Dr Johnson explained what I should be expecting and he answered a list of questions that I had written down for him, questions like leakage, the size of the incisions and yadda yadda. Guess who decided to join me(¿) My husband- listen believe me when I say "Prayer works". So my surgery date is Friday 8/5. I welcome all suggestions as to what I'll need in the hospital and those first two weeks home from hospital.
Make it great!

Nervous or Excited
Its happeniing guys its happening . I received a call to meet with the surgeon for my gastric sleeve surgery on 7/1. I'm not sure if I'm excited, nervous or fearful.
I have been cleared after being disqualified and staring the program over again. I've come to realize that I need support. I'll let you know how it goes pray for me.

Switching Hlth insurance
Good Day, RS family! So after going back and forth for the last two years since beginning my journey up and down falling off the wagon getting ran over by the wagon and so on and so on I've concluded that I will be switching my health insurance coverage this open season simply because my current hlth insurance carrier will "ONLY" provide coverage for LB surgery. Let me give you a little history of my journey(take a seat and sip on some tea)smile
Back in January 2013 I recall the disgust that my husband displayed when I had reached an uncomfortable weight of 260lbs, the distasteful look is still vivid in my thoughts. I walked every day, weighed my meals, ate clean joined weight lost programs started eating "Clean" exercising, I mean I was on my come up. I actually lost 40 something pounds and what do you know the man that I married decided that he would move to a whole another state. huh who in the hell does that I thought. I was so distraught emotionally that I had to have an emergency gull bladder removal, before the GB surgery I was petrified of surgeries it was because of that fear that I had wanted to have LB. Any who after the GB removal and relational matters I was not up for an additional SX so long story short my nutrition advised me that she was just getting ready to approve my SX date but I had to start the program all over this was 09/2013 so I did start the program all over but I was so wounded that my efforts were not there at all, I gained every inch of the weight back plus some overweight stress and in 09/2014 I was dropped from the program all together:(.
Now after engaging on RS site because all I use to do before was look and hope I've decided that the gastric sleeve would be a much better choice for me. I'm much more stronger now and I've overcome my fear of SX. Now all I need to do is select proper HLTH ins as a Federal Gov Employee.
Any suggestions?
