Topic: RE: NOVEMBER BABY! WHOOOOO
I went to the surgeon last Wednesday for my appointment. Basically he just told me about the results of my Endoscopy and said that he received all the Nutritionist's and Psychologist's reports and I am good to go. All his nurse had to do was fax all the paperwork to my insurance for approval. . . . well that was last Wednesday, I called to see if it had been submitted yet and still NO. Sooooo that means I'm still waiting for insurance approval. She said she "should" get to it by the end of this week.
Good luck to all of us!!

Congrats on getting the date after such a long wait. I consider the date an early christmas present to myself.

Hi Ladymoya,
I've been going to support groups at my surgeon's office almost since the beginning of this process. They have really been helpful. I missed last month because I was in OC that week. The next one, for me, is October 14th, which is the day before my meeting with the surgeon when I hope to get my surgery date. It's not going to be as early as I hoped because of the jaw surgery I must have on October 27. I'm not sure how long he's going to want to wait after one surgery before I have another. I'm almost 63 and don't bounce back as quickly as I did in my 30's or 40's!
I guess the period after my jaw surgery will be a good opportunity to try both various liquid meals and soft/puree meals like I'll do after I'm banded. Ah well, I just have to turn it all over to a "Higher Power" and trust that he didn't bring me this far to drop me on my butt!
