I just called my insurance company and they approved me for surgery! They said that they sent a letter to my surgeon's office yesterday and I will be getting one shortly. I am so excited! what a refief. I have been so worried. Wondering what I was going to do if I did not get approved. My weight has been such a problem and lately I have not felt good. My blood pressure refuses to be controlled by medication and I know that I am at risk of a stroke; they run in my family. My back has been killing me; I have already had 2 surgeries and I am only 41. This is going to make such a difference in my quality of life. Now, I just need a date. Wish me luck.

Hello
I wish all the luck in the world. I was just approved myself. Today I scheduled my tentative date for surgery. (Oct. 02, 2008) It hasn't hit me yet but, I know anxiety will kick in soon...
Keep me updated. What are some things you have done to prepare?
Sincerely,
Muilka

So far I have attended two support group sessions (1 per month) per the psych request. I have also started bike riding again. I have not been consistent but it is a start. I am even more motivated to get in some bike riding knowing that it will help me to prepare for post-surgery.
