Congrats! Get ready for a new life! (or at least an enhanced one!)

This board gets slow sometimes, but the people are AWESOME! We even try and get together at various spots around the state from time to time, so I hope to meet you in person.

My best piece of advice is to start DREAMING about what you want out of this, and BELIEVE that you can get it! You'd be amazed at what you can accomplish!

Read my blog, BARIATHLETE I run because I can.

Hi there and welcome!

This is definitely the place for love and support. Post often, especially since you're so close to your surgery.

Oh, I'll PM you; I have Aetna too and so far I'm hearing really good things about approvals :)
