Time to follow the white rabbit...I just found out today I have been approved for surgery. I was expecting this huge battle that did not happen. I was approved on my first try. Thanks BCBS. I am still in a state of numbness. I need to go to a local support group for a meeting in August and then have a meeting with my doctor where my surgery date will be set. I am so excited and scared. I will let everyone know when the date is.

Great man...the time will fly by.  Soon it will be a few days before surgery and you be asking..."am I doing the right thing"??  Then comes the surgery and recovery...Time really goes by slow...Very boring stuff.  Then come the "What have I done to myself!!" phase.  A few weeks after that (for most people) the weightloss really clicks in and it's..."Hang on for the ride".  Ask away on the questions, we'll be here.  Brian

Good news! IT should all go quickly once you get the date. I can't believe mine is only two weeks away now! Good Luck on your journey!

Congrats on your approval, guitar man!! Now is the time to begin preparing for your new life by learning about nutritional eating and by getting in some walking. Best of luck with your WL journey.

Oh' ya, "one pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small....." Care to name that tune???

Great for you.  The gift you are getting requires work and patience. You will get back everything you put into it.  Do what they tell you and the time will fly by.  We are saving a place on the bench for you.
