Default Pre-op but I'm having an emotional moment!

My hospital requires it's bariatric patents to lose 10-15lb prior to surgery.

I've done a little better than that, but more importantly........drum roll please! ..........

I am no longer Morbidly Obese!
I got under BMI 40! Yeah!

I'm still severely obese (Obese-Class II the hospital calls it), but that's OK. Baby steps!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Thank you Edie but sadly, I've been here before. Probably once a year for the past 20 years to be precise.

I'm a great dieter, keeping it off if the problem.

I'm just trying to do what I can to make the surgeons job easier and hopefully, it'll make the recovery process easier too.

Also, I have a small business making and selling traditionally made soap and the summer months are my busiest because of the tourists coming up to Mt.Rainier (WA). That's slowing up now that the kiddies are back at school.

But, I have an appointment with the surgical doc. again next Tuesday (11th). This is to go over the details and set a date - schedule the pre-op testing etc. etc.

Thats awesome news!!!!
I had to loose 25 lbs in order to have my surgeon
book my date.
MY surgeon swears it reduces the complication risks....and
it also gets the fatty liver out of the way to make for a
safe lap surgery!
KEEP up the great looseing.
PRE OP weight loss is hard!!!!!
