oh hi, sorry for the delay, for some reason I didnt get notified about a responce to this posting.

hmm, no I didnt have to start the process again. I was already aproved all they had to do is call the insurance and let them know that they were going to be doing the surgery for me and request a date change. My old doctor gave me copies of all my visits, so I went on well prepared to the new doctor. Everything has being good so far :)

Having VSG on December 11th!

Unlike some of the other stories I have been reading, my process through the helathcare system has been fairly rapid.   Ist MD visit in September, just have to do the nutrition visit and medical clearance and I am set to go.  However, the getting to the MD visit has taken me years to decide.  First began the thought process 4-5 years ago.  But am now on my way. 

I'm Leza, I live in the Denver area and will be having gastric bypass surgery the day after my fall semester is over!  I spent 10 years fighting to have this surgery approved by various insurers and finally got it approved last week!

I am so excited to be able to post a date!! I have to be totally honest, for some reason after that date was given to me, I have become a bit nervous. I am still excited beyond belief and when the thought of my impending surgery dancing it's way across my mind, I can't help but smile!

 Helllllloooooo to my fellow Dec surgery mates!
