Topic: Doing the HAPPY DANCE!! Oct. 5th is my new birthday!
I was absolutely blessed to be approved within just 2 days of submitting my paperwork to my insurance company (Cigna), and got a phone call from my clinic saying I was approved!
I can't wait to do this, I'm so excited, scared, you name it I feel it!! My birthday is in late Oct, as well as my husband's birthday, and Halloween... the evil day of bypass patients!! It will be an emotionally tolling month for us all with the birthdays and Halloween but we will do it, and I WILL survive!
This is perfect timing though... will be healed and into all of this just to be able to have a nibble at Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners though!
Congrats to all of us and our wonderful journeys ahead!

I am scheduled for Oct 30th for lap Sleeve. I am already getting excited. Have waited a long time for this and have crossed off all the hurdles. I'm self pay, using my flex spend account and have gotten written verification that they will reimburse me after receiving my surgeon's letter of medical necessity. Have passport, will travel. Finally!

Hello everyone.
I was so happy to discover this site after a referral from a friend who is on here. I am pre-op and would love all the support I can get. I have been in my hospital's weight loss program since February of this year, and have lost about 25 ponds since. I have between 1 and 5 more pounds to go. I have been put on a partial liquid diet already and in the first week I lost 4 pounds. I am very nervous about the surgery but more excited to finally get my life back. Of course I want to look good but that isn't my main motivator. I want to LIVE. I want to play with my kids. I want to be able to fit in seats without worrying that I won't. There are many more things like this that I look forward to. Thank you all for listening to me. Hope everything goes well for you on your surgery date.
