I am so excited..... One month and counting ? my surgery date is 3/14 and I start my pre-op on 2/29!!!

Congrats Taynadosmom! I know what you mean,as mine gets closer I'm a little nervous, wondering if I'm doing the right thing, and if I can be a success at this since I've been a failure for so many years when it comes to losing and keeping it off. I'm committed though and am determined to follow what the doctor says and be a fabulous success!! Good luck to you, keep us posted!

That is too bad to hear- do you have an out of pocket max per year? My OOP is $3000, so I should be pretty much covered without the surgery. I am still waiting to see the claims appear for my sleep study consult and the actual study and the surgeon. After my OOP, all in-network care will be paid for the rest of the year. I plan on being at the surgeon's office as much as necessary until December 31

I just got my surgery date on yesterday. March 15th. Woooo Hooo! I haven't really gotten nervous, but I think the closer I get, that will change. I'm so looking forward to this and becoming a new me inside and out.

Just found out that I have pretty much the whole month of March available for time off at work so I am hoping for a speedy approval. It would be great if I could have the surgery the first Monday in March but I am not holding my breathe. The latest I can have it is the last week of March, otherwise I will have to wait until June do to scheduling at work. That would make me so sad.
Still waiting on my Psych Eval. My surgeon got the results last Tuesday but the lady in the Behavioral Health department for my insurance company claims she hasn't gotten the multiple faxes. HAPPY THOUGHTS is all I got!
