I am new at this. Have had all test done, received surgery date of October 14, 2004 but was moved already to October 21,2004 at Stanford Hospital

Congratulations Lorrie-you've made it this far!!!!!! I know your date probably seems so far away and then they went and moved it even further away, but it will come. You've made it this far, the sky's the limit. Best wishes to you!!!! Danielle Lap RNY 10/12/04

Thank You for replying. I am so new at this I do not know what to expect. Was hoping I could meet some friends who have had this done or is about to have this done that I could chat with and keep posted with. I have been working on this since April that is when I was referred by my MD. Then went through all the criteria and test that are required. Now I wait to see if Stanford will receive an approval from CIGNA. I heard they are a bear to work with when it comes to this surgery. Have you had surgery or are you about to have surgery??? Hope to hear from you soon. Keep me posted and I will keep you posted. Thanks Lorrie

Hey Lorrie, good news.

Good Evening, thanks for the reply. This is a hard job I have been working at this since April. Now for the scary part, waiting to see if the approval from the insurance goes through. What a let down if it is denied. Hope to hear from you again. have you had surgery?? or are you scheduled?? Thanks Lorrie

Congradulations Lorrie, on 10/21/04. Mine is on 10/05/04
