November 6 is my new birthday!

I have my date! Tuesday, November 6! Insurance took 3 days to approve. What a shocker. They wanted me to lose 30 pounds prior to surgery and I'm already down 20. Who else is on the 6th?

Not the 6th but the 5th. Congrats on your approval!

My date is November 6th. Let me know how you make out...Keep in touch! [email protected]

Congrats! And BTW I like the idea of the surgery day being your NEW birthday!! My date is Nov. 28th! Good Luck! I have to lose 34lbs.

The more weight we can get off the easier surgery will be. Part of why my past weight loss efforts failed is that the amount I had to lose seemed so overwhelming. There was no end in sight to the dieting and the exercising and the suffering. But now that I see the goal...November 6...I suddenly have tons of motivation! Am I perfect with the diet? Oh hell no. In fact tonight I'm planning on a slice of cheesecake. With hot fudge. I figure after 11/6 sugary foods are out of my life. A girl's gotta have a chance to say goodbye, right? Of course if you're gonna cheat, the trick is to space it apart. Even my nutrionist said it was okay. (A slice as opposed to half the cake, it's called moderation, my friends. ) My last hurrah is my sister's wedding October 27 and I'm planning to drink as much champagne as I can. Moderation, be damned. But then it'll be liquid diet time with NO cheating.

I on November 6 at 8:30 am in columbia, SC. My insurance approved me really fast also. I will have to be on a diet for 30 days to shrink my liver, and then "it's on and Poppin" I'll keep you in my prayers, we will have the same new birthdate.

November 6th is also my date!! I hear ya about the champagne...mmmmmm!! I myself will have a going away party for my good friends Ben & Jerry. I sure will miss those two!!! Good luck and let us know how you do!!

I am. You are so lucky. My insurance carrier took over 1 month to give their OK. That is after I had to do the 6 month suprvised diet! I am in Baltimore, where are you? Karen
