I have a surgery date!

I'm having surgery on January 22!  I'm so excited and so nervous at the same time!  My final consult was good.  Dr. LaMasters is awesome.  She really takes her time and goes over everything. She listens and treats all your questions as important.  I'm so ready to just have this part over.  This next two weeks is going to drag by.  I'm really impatient and not good with waiting.  That's why I was so happy when she told me we could do it in two weeks.  I am worried about being able to follow the pre-op diet faithfully.  I know I have to but I'm really not good at calorie restriction.  If I was I would be the weight I am.  Other than that I'm rearing to go!  Wish me luck!

Let me just say....CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! OMG..that is so so SO exciting!!! I am still waiting on my approval...wondering if I should call my insurance company and see what they say or not?! How exciting?!!!
Yeah-you!!

I say call them.  What's the worst they're going to say?  Either their going to have reached a decision or they haven't.  I waited like a week to call my insurance company the first time.  The second time I was really scared because I knew I was not going to be able to to the 6 month supervised diet again.  Way to emotionally trying.  So I decided to wait two weeks to call.  They made the decision in 1 day and I got the letter in a few days.  So go ahead and call them.  At least you'll know their still in the deciding phase.  I'm sure you'll get it.  If not this time then keep at it.  You'll get there!

Congrats! It'll be here in no time!  And I'd say call them---tell them you're calling to verify they got your paperwork---that way it doesn't seem like you're being a pest! Good luck!

Congratulations and Good luck.  I know you will do fine.  

Good luck- I am sure you will do well- I have heard many good things about your surgeon - just keep posting!

I say yeah to all of us.  Be an advocate for yourself and call the insurance company..........remember, you are doing the healthy thing by having surgery and they should be supportive of that!

Let us know what you find out.
