This might be real...

Just got off the phone with coordinator at my surgeon's office.  They have all the paperwork together from my consults a couple weeks back and it is going to the doctor/surgeon for final approval.  Once that is done, it will be sent to insurance for approval.

As happy as I am that it is moving forward again, my stomach turned just a bit when the reality of it hit me.

It's okay that your stomach is doing flip flops.......you're on your way to a healthier you.

Best of everything......best decision possible!

Good luck. I wish you well.

I'm sure it will be approved right away! You got this. You deserve it. 

Keeping my fingers crossed it will be a fast approval process. My insurance approved it within about 2 weeks!

Here is hoping :)  I'm from SoCal as well, but a little more 'So' than you.

How far south? What surgeon / hospital are you using?

I'm in San Diego -- Zorn III with Pacific Bariatric @ Scripps Mercy.

You'll be really glad you did this. And probably a little angry at yourself for not doing it a lot sooner.

Lots of flip flops, all the way up to the operating table, but then it's done and you are on the road to success!  With one of the best tools you can be offered to reach your goals.
