My surgery date is March 21, 2011. It sure has been a long time coming. I started this journey with the medically supervised diet classes in Nov 2009. Due to insurance requirements, I had to endure 12 months of the diet classes. Even when I seen the surgeon on Feb. 1, he told me not to get into a hurry due to my insurance company's history of denials. But to everyone's surprise, the paperwork was submitted on Feb. 10 and approval came on Feb. 18. I have missed feelings of anxiety, excited, and scared just to name a few. Anxious to have pre-op appointment on March 8 to find out what the diet will be. YAY ME!!

My surgery date is March 21, too. I have the same feelings. Anxiety, nervous, scared, excited. I have been going through the process since Nov 2009 due to insurance regulations. I was soo excited to get approved. The quick approval even surprised my surgeon.
