Hi, all. For the past year I've been going through the step by step screening process to qualify for my insurance company to pay for bariatric weight loss surgery for me in May or June. I had to go through cardio and other physical tests, and then go to evening nutrition classes for 6 months at a hospital over an hour away.

Tomorrow is the last step in the screening process: a meeting with a psychologist at the hospital in the morning. Though I imagine it will be fine, I have never met her. So if you could send some supportive vibes my way for me in the morning, I'll feel more settled to be myself and tell my story in our session tomorrow. Much appreciated.

Wow, good luck! I'm sure you can get through this. I suppose it would help to know what they're looking for, or looking out for - but in any case, I am sure you will come across as the stable, disciplined and motivated person you are, so God willing it will go great.

It did, it went well. I got to throw in the work we do here together during the interview, too. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I took it into the room with me. Much gratitude to one and all for your support, y'all!!

Now, since I had to get up at 5am to be on the road by 6am to make it to the hospital 1 and 1/2 hours' drive away for the appointment and then rush back to teach class,

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz.
I'm gonna get some sleep. See y'all tomorrow! :-)

So glad it went well for you! I wanted bariatic surgery but its a 50/50 chance it would kill me during surgery (bad health heart etc) and i already have stomach issues and my shrink said i wouldn't pass the psych part. I hope it goes well for you!

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
