I began this journey last Jan. It has been a long road to now. Today I heard from Dr. Glucks office. When I seen there # on my i.d. I thought they were calling about a surgery date. Well, it was to tell me that they are faxing paperwork that the ins. co. needs...once again. Only this time I will get the approval stamp. I thought maybe we would hear back in a week or so........NOT. She said it would probably be about 3-4weeks. Oh my gosh, I feel like I take a little step and then wait again. I know this is normal, but I get discouraged on some days. I want this weight off before next Sept. I have a family member getting married, and want to look nice and feel great. I would love to wear a dress again. Thanks for listening, just needed to vent a little. I am so close, I need to NOT gain any weight...I am having anxiety over the possibility of gaining. Best to all of us here, colleen

I know it's hard to not get discouraged, but it is so worth the wait.    I waited over a year and feel that it was a good thing cause i had more time to research and learn.   Just read profiles and look at before and after pictures.    Start trying a healthy lifestyle now and walk to keep you busy. Let us know when you get a date Linda

Thanks Linda...I have been reading here for some time now.  I have to say I went to your profile and could not believe how your before and after picture looks. Its incredible!!! I was surprised at the heart failure you had afterwards.........dang thats a whole lot scary. I am sure happy to hear things went well for you afterwards.  I also have a knee problem right now because of injury, but hopefully that will be behind me next week. colleen
