Auntie

Congratulations on your weight loss. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I will be having surgery in February. I work in health care too and because of that it has taken me longer than many to decide to have surgery. When I received my date, I was taken off guard that the approval had come through. I was told that it would likely be rejected & I would then need to appeal. I am cautiously optimistic and hopeful that the surgery will be a great tool for me.

I was just recently approved for surgery too. I am scheduled for 2/13/12. It has been such a long process for me and it never felt real until I received insurance approval ( which I was not expecting, since it is not a procudre generally covered & usually has to be appealed). Now I am both excited and a little afraid too.

Congratulations on your decision ! Deciding to do something so permanent has been the most difficult part for me. I am having surgery in Feb.
