Thank you for the great information Marella! When (not if...trying my positive thinking) my surgery date is set I will have a better idea of how many days I will have. Right now the excitement, anxiety and huge lack of patience are overwhelming. My paperwork will be submitted to insurance this week. My bmi is still my biggest concern. Today I am bmi of 40, but I think my last doctors visit it was 39. I think I'll call before they submit to insurance to see if it will make a huge difference.

Thanks again for your support...I have tried to read as many posts as possible on my insurance and qualifying bmi.

Patience... once one decides on THIS journey, I think patience goes out the window. I'll embolden myself to believe that 99.9% of us here felt that way.

I wish for you the answer you seek. (((Sending all things positive)))

Oh, Marella, I sooooo needed that today. I had a good laugh about patience. Much appreciated. I have been tested more than usual lately....internet went down at my house yesterday won't be fixed until Thurs. I will be testing hubby to see how much of my non-stop excitement he can stand. Also, visiting parents a lot...no problems with their computer!

I called yesterday to check with Dr. Boone's office on where my official weight will be taken from, they said their office, so I guess I will give my PCP a break and not have them weigh me again.

I did my psych yesterday. Talk about stressful. The interview was fine, but talk about second guessing myself and over analyzing the true false test. If I wasn't crazy before the test, I surely was afterword!

Thanks!

Justme, I hope all goes well with you pre-surgery journey and continues post-op. Keep up the enthusiasm and positive outlook!

Thanks for the wishes. My date is JULY 1, TOMORROW MORNING, 6am. I didn't want to steal your blog, so i passed on saying my date. But i tell you.....I'm NERVOUS!!! I don't know why, but i am. I'm trying to relax because i don't want my blood pressure to be to high for tomorrow morning.

Okay, so today's the day. I go to orientation tonight! and tomorrow begins my second level of patience testing.
To top it off, I got a call today that my sleep study has been moved to tonight. Hope I can sleep...
