Topic: April 2nd
I've completed my 6 months of telephone coaching and 5% weight loss, both required by my insurance company Health Alliance (completed these January 7th).  I got insurance approval on January 20th and on February 10th my name got put on the surgeon's waiting list and then on February 23rd I got my date scheduled for APRIL 2nd! 

Excited, scared, nervous, relieved - - - you name it!!!  Lots of prayer!

I went to an OH Group support meeting tonight.  WOW it was great and helped ease some nerves that I was having.  If there is a group that meets close to your location it could be every supportive.  This is the 2nd one I have gone to and know that they have helped me in many ways.  In 8 weeks from tonight I will be a proud owner of a pouch and the beginning of my second chance at a healthy productive life.

Yeah it went so fast for me too! I didn't expect to get my surgery date on the first appointment I had with my surgeon but I got it! I wasn't expecting it for another 8 weeks after that.

It's just such a thrill to know everything is going to be fine :)

Congratulations!

BTW, if you are truly interested in the DS there are PLENTY of surgeons in NY that preform it. Here is a list from duodenalswitch.com. I will personally be going 4 hours away from home to obtain DS, and staying there for up to two weeks.
