I just called my insurance company again Duhhhh (I call every day) I am definately approved Happy Dance,Happy Dance, Happy Dance. I did not believe them yesterday because their answer was so vague. But today they said yes approved and named the hospital and surgeon. I am sooooooo excited. But now very scared. I can not imagine giving up food almost completely. Did you all feel this way before surgery too? I can get a date when I receive the approval in the mail. Let me know about the fear of NOT eating regular again Love to amos friends Chrissy D

nice to hear of someone from home. I'm from Pikeville, Ky. I have my first surgery scheduled with dr. Gonzales in Sept. That sure seems like a long wait, but i'm in this for the long haul. I am trying to learn as much as i can about wls, and still have to tackel the insurance part of this. They are sending me some forms to fill out and a list of things i will need to do before that date. I need to have a sleep study but am waiting for dr. forms to see what they need first. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my insurance will pay for wls. I'm going to be watching for updates from you, i pray for the best outcome for you Sheila Williams

Hi Chris, First of all you are not a cry baby, and from one pre-op to another..I feel your frustration. But I have good news..once you get used to sleeping with your c-pap you will really feel so much better. Oh and the insurance frustration is so hard to be patient... I have found this whole process a very emotional journey.....but just try and keep focused on the out come..... xo Karen

awwwwww Chris, I don't blame you for feeling like crying. Maybe when you get home you can sit down, have a good cry and then a long nap. It really does suck to find out theres just one more thing wrong. I was having a pain in my side and my dr asked me if I had ever had kidney stones, I just looked at him and said no, and for heavens sake don't I have enough things wrong with me without adding that too??? LOL... He doesnt know what to do with me most of the time..but that's ok, I don't know what to do with me either. I hope you get a good nights sleep tonight and feel better about things in the morning ((((((((Chris)))))))))))) we all need a big hug sometimes, cyber and real.

Chris, I didn't think I had sleep apnea either. Because they didn't put a cpap on me. But, I later found out I did. The doctor said they even came running in the room because i quit breathing. But, needless to say their I was snoring away. ha lol Wishing you a safe journey. Speedy recovery. God Bless

2-5-03 Had a sleep apnea test last night. I don't think I have a problem. The LPN said if I had obvious episodes she would put a cpap machine on me to see how it helped. Well she never put the darn thing on me. She did however, come in after about 45 minutes, and put oxygeon on me. I wonder what that was about. She asked if I ever had to have oxyg before. I haven't except when I was in the hospital with my asthma. Oh well she said she got six good hours of study and my doctor may have the results when I go on thursday. I hope so. I am hoping not to have to use that c pap. Yesterday I called my insurance company again and asked if the had my claim. The told me they have been waiting since the 28Th for my surgeons office to call them. I called the surgeon and asked them to call the insurance. I even had the number for them to call. Duhhhh The insuranze company said they left a message on the 28th with the srgeon to call. I am sooooooo anxious. I know we overweights must all be compulsive-obsesive personalities since we can not wait for anything that takes time. "We want it now" I sure hope this happens soon. I can not be off during the summer because it is our busiest time of year at work. AAfter the test last night I felt drained and my hair looked like a "punk rocker" gelled and spiked. So I called in work and took a day of vacation. I went back to bed and washed the gunk out of my hair. I am just sitting here reading posts and wondering when I will be next.

Hi Chris I have been on prozac for 3 years and had surgery last aug 2002, and am still on it. but as i am loosing weight i am feeling better but my doctor is just seeing how i am doing and will see how things are with me before any changes are made to my medication - so to your question will this effect your chances of getting WLS - no in fact your weight problem is probably related to your depression. hang on in there girl, and keep hopeful kind regards
