Good luck! I got my insurance approval yesterday and will have my phone attached to me until the surgeons office calls to schedule my surgery! I am so excitified too! Will think about you and PP on May 15th :)

I had to wait from July 17, 2012 until March 8, 2013 before I was finally given the date of April 8, 2013.
Hope you do not have such a wait.

Could I ask how long it took to get that?  Thanks

I'm not sure exactly but once I met all the requirements it took less than three hours for my insurance to approve! Missed a call from my surgeons office today so I'm hoping to get back with them tomorrow to schedule

I love the word "excitified".  Good luck to you.  I will be following you on May 20th.  Can't wait to see you on the loser's bench

Congratulations!
I had my VGS done on April 8th . . . I now walk 5+ miles a days, usually 2.5 in the morning and I go another 2.5 or more by 2pm.
Remember 70 gr Protein and no more than 30 gr Carbs . . . And hydrate!
No matter what anyone says Never Feel Like You Are Failing, You Do It ! even if its times of small loss , its still pounds loss! . . . You Can Do This!
I had to tell myself this especially after my 2nd post surgical appointment, I had discouraging comments from my doctor. He counted my clothes as my weight and told me I hadn't lost what he expected. Interesting he never informed me of what he expected as to weight drop per week/month. So be sure to ask this from your doctor so you know. My doctor said he expects 20 lbs a month, his assistant came in 10 minutes before him and said 12 to 15 lbs is good ... go figure. . . I was actually 3 lbs shy (if not counting clothing) and I received a poor review and hurt feelings. Stick to the clear broth and protein "Unjury" is a great one. Much Success To You!
