Surgery date 12/9/2013

Hello. My name is Shannon. I live in Clearwater Florida. I am having the vertical gastric sleeve done on 12/9/2013.I am on day 1 of the pre op diet. Other than a small headache, I'm doing ok. I submitted my referral to BCBS on 11/11/2013. It was denied because my employer had an exclusion policy. I am now going to Tijuana Mexico to have it done. I'm excited and scared. I am mainly mourning the things I cant have. But I tell myself it will be all worth it.
