I met with Dr Patterson this morning and all is great for setting a date. Now I am in the waiting pattern (2-3 weeks) for insurance approval. This waiting thing is super hard...I know it gives me more time to loose more, have a smaller liver and get stuff in order for the big day, but I cannot help but be a bit pensive about getting an approval from BCBSIL. I have heard horror stories. It is hard to be objective when I feel so ready to make this change. There is no way to get around the wait...Dr P. told me to wait 3 weeks before I call to see whats up...has anyone heard earlier than the standard 2-3 weeks? P-E-A-C-E....right? Inner peace!!!! Breathe!!!!!! LOL

So glad you have a good support structure. I'm going through OHSU for my surgery, and they also have a great support system. I also am a mom of three. a 15yr old son and 2 girls that will soon be 2 and 3. It is difficult to get those support groups in at times, thankfully the one I goes to lists the topic for the first one and has a general meeting for the second one. That way I can decide which one I really want to go to. Good Luck on your Journey!

Welcome! I am scheduled for WLS next week. Does your Dr. have a support group? That's a good way to meet others that are considering or have had WLS. I am also 40 and looking forward to a "new" lease on life!

I am not really new to the OH but I have been in a holding pattern for a while. I am finally meeting with Dr Patterson on Tuesday 8/25 and I am getting really excited. I am just waiting for insurance approval and the consult for scheduling a date. I am getting impatient today and feeling a little like it will never happen...I know it will if I work hard enough! Meantime, I am looking for others in my area who are or have doen WLS. I am in Beaverton and am anxious to start my life anew. I am turning 40 on Saturday and am really ready for this change!!!!! Wanna make some new friends!!!! Have a great Sunday y'all!!!!!
