I GOT A DATE!!!!!!!!!

I knew it should be this week, but DAMN. It took just over 24 hours to get approval. Surgery is 10/11 at noon. Thanks for all the well wishes yesterday, and please keep me and my family in your prayers. My pre-op is 9/27. My mom is having her surgery earlier that week on the 24th.

YEEEE HAAAA!!!!  Had a redneck moment there.

LOL!  Congratulations and best wishes for an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery!

Congrats to you!!!

Woohooo congrats to you!!!!!

Congratulations!  Good luck to you and your mom. Take care. Ellen

Congrats! and don't you love how fast they work there?  Is your mom having wls surg. also?  Time will fly by and be here before you know it!  Hold on for the ride! Nancy

Thanks. Yes they really went quick over the last couple of weeks but it seemed like an eternity leading up to this. My mom is also having wls. Hers will be done in Virginia, because her insurance doesn't cover any surgeons in NC. My stepdad also had wls this past December with the same one she is using. He has lost over 100lb already.

Congrats...

Congrats!  I also have Dr. B and have not got a date yet. When did you start the process?  Good luck I think he is a very good DR. Myrtis

Well, I actually started last summer but I didn't meet the insurance requirement of 5 yrs documented weight history. I went back in July and only had to redo my physical, labs, and a modified psych evaluation. The hold up this time was my PCP office. They screwed up when it came to the labs. I was approved with 3 years documented and a letter from my medical director at work. I don't usually go to the doctor so I had to overcome the requirement a different way.
