Hi All, I am new here and love reading all of your posts. I am in the dreaded waiting process. I am anxiously awaiting word from the insurance company to know if/when I will be able to schedule my Big Day! Here is my question... I have a trip planned to Costa Rica in July with my kids. If (fingers crossed) I am approved, should I wait until I get back from my trip to have the procedure? I am less worried about food consumption and more concerned with how I will be feeling/healing. I guess this is a little premature as i don't know anything yet, but I have seen some people write in that they were scheduled for surgery a few weeks after approval... I appreciate in advance any advice you can give. Laurie
