Hi Everyone

Hi All!  I have been lurking for awhile, but this is my first real post.  I hope to have DS in late May or early June.  I have found a great program.  Not just a surgeon but a program.  I am currently working through all the pre-approval steps with my insurance.  I was at 433 lbs when I started the prep program and in two months I am down to 405.  My surgeon would like for me to get to at least 395 before the procedure.  I will meet again with my surgeon in early May and everything will go to insurance.  They have a great track record of approving so basically its just continuing to work on my pre surgery weight loss and wait for the date to be finalized for DS. 

I am sure you guys will be hearing more from me later.  I've learned a lot just be reading.

 Congrats on choosing the DS! Best decision I ever made for myself!! 

Welcome aboard!
