Today I finally got the letter stating that my surgery is approved! The insurance company had told me over the phone when I called almost 2 weeks ago, but I refused to really believe it until I had that paper in my hand. They took their sweet time in sending the letter, so I was beginning to think something was wrong. I didn't want to get too excited or anything because I didn't want to jinx myself, and we all know that with insurance companies anything is possible. So now it's ok to be excited.

I will meet with the surgeon on Friday to pick a surgery date. It's finally going to happen! I'm excited, scared to death, happy, sad, and totally freaked out.

All of which is pretty normal I guess. I just wanted to share! Crystal

Crystal, CONGRATS!!!

Don't worry the emotional roller coaster will come to a halt and the excitement will set in. My prayers are with your for a quick recovery and productive WLS journey. I know how every thing seems so surreal and the time can't go by fast enough but it will fly by fast as H, E, double hockey sticks.
