Hello everyone!!!!

Just wanted to say hi. i have been quietly stalking these boards for months now while going through the process of getting all my requirements for my surgrey. Well today was a good day. My doctors office sent in for insurance approval monday afternoon and i got a call today (thursday) afternoon from the insurance comany that i was approved. I am so excited and nervous at the same time. I had my first visit with my doctor September 27th, so things have gone pretty quickly. I will be scheduling my surgery tomorrow, the woman was not in the office today to do it.

Also i wanted to thank everyone on the boards, reading all the posts and advice you have given people made this process a little less scary. except for my doctor i really had no one to talk o about this whole process. You have also made the surgrey seem alot less terrifying. dont get me wrong i know all the pros and cons but you have put my mind at ease and i know i can handle everything that will come my way. hell i have delt with being the fat girl for 22 years so this should be a sugar free cake walk.

I am not afraid…I was born to do this

Congratulations on the approval! Doesn't that phone call feel amazing?? I had to wait around six weeks for my approval. 

"...a sugar free cake walk." good line, hahah.

thank you, six weeks man thats rough. at least it was in your favor in the end. it feels almost surreal because of how fast this process has been.
