Hello all! I just joined because I feel I need support, advice, and friendship from others who have gone through, or are going through, this amazing and difficult journey.
I have my first consultation with a surgeon Monday (Feb 6), and I’m quite nervous and already overwhelmed. The nerves are something else, lemme tell ya! I’ve done SO much reading and research on what to expect, and what Medicaid requires in order for it to be covered. I’m terrified my past psych history and bipolar II diagnosis will keep me from getting this help. I also don’t want to do a full 6-month supervised weight-loss, but I will do anything it takes.
My PCP already had me do blood work, and I did my sleep study last night. I saw a cardiologist last year, and also had an upper EGD done a year ago. So I’m interested to see if I’ll have to do all that again.
I’m pretty sure I will go with the RNY bypass.
I’m past ready to receive help, and put all the work in. Start a new lifestyle.
