Hi Friends,
Just had my 5th out of 6 nut appt today. She said that they will submit the app to my insurance right after my 6th visit..then once they get an answer we can talk surgery date. She said that my surgeon is not as booked as she first stated so my chances of getting my surgery by Nov looks much better.  This has been a long haul...first contemplated this surgery about a yr ago...then got scared and cancelled appt with surgeon. Then I had an auto accident last Fall that kept me out of any plans for surgery. I continued to gather info from all of you as well as the book "Weight Loss for Dummies" and decided I NEED this.
My visit with my surgeon was beginning of April, then came the psych visit and testing, then the nut visits began. My insurance requires 6 visits to the nut no less than 3 wks apart. I've decided on my own to adopt the post-op lifestyle, eating only the foods that I'd be eating post-op....I lost 25# doing this and feel better already. So EVERY LOSER OUT THERE...MAKE ROOM FOR ME ON THAT BENCH this Fall. I am excited as you can probably tell. Thanks for all the info you have generously shared with me. I know...I have time yet and I'm not approved yet but it feels good anyway and I'm enjoying it!!

Alice, you are getting closer and closer to your beginning of a new life. It won't be long now. I think you have every reason to be excited~you are starting something that is new and exciting. It is a wonderful life and one that I wouldn't trade for anything. Congratulations on you accomplishments so far.

                    It's not what you gather, but what you scatter 
                        that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Exciting news, Alice!

I'm already getting excited for you.  I was where you are not very long ago.  I well remember the joy and anticipation you are feeling!  I think it makes it all the more rewarding having gone through what you are experiencing.

The time will arrive before you know it!
