You're better than me Chad- I walk upstairs and want to lay on my bed. . I totally get it and you are almost there. I think we will be doing pre op at the same time. Now if that isn't surreal I don't know what is.

It seems word is spreading in my huge extended family. Many of them knew I was looking at this but I did not announce the approval and next steps. Not sure how I feel about it. Of course- one must always look at the bright side and who am I to judge if they want to send me a card- with cash- so I can save up and buy a whole new wardrobe . JK!!!

Pre op visit is Tuesday . I should have a date then and I'm STILL saying sept 10. Wouldn't that be something if the date I wanted for six months becomes real? . Prayers pa lease

This was helpful for me to read- sounds familiar and it puts things in perspective for me. Thank you

Each day goes by slower than the day before. I think I'm mentally prepared for everything an even want to start my pre op diet early. I probabaly need a date for surgery though ey? Well- I'm still holding out hope for Sept 10. I meet with the doctor on Tuesday as I swear I count the minutes. Eeeeesh!

Ha! I find that I'm on this more than I ever am on Facebook now . **giggle**

Awww hang on Tight. Yep- we do all in one way or another have experienced this. You are the only person though that can make this work. It doesn't matter how many loopholes they throw at you. When they do- you jump through and know your one step closer. If its already a covered part of your plan- your a step ahead of the game. Just jump through the hoops. Assure that you are seeing an experienced doctor who deals with insurance company crap all the time. Let them fight for you too. It will happen. Just believe ok? No more waiving the white flag here. It's time for you to take control back my dear. So what's next in your journey? What have you done so far?

Aren't u on the 10th? I am hoping for that date but won't have a Lon pre op of anything at all

Yeyyy! You did it so happy for u!

I'm not post op yet but I could swear both the PA an trainer said no major cardio and especially lifting for one month??

Exciting!!! You'll hear soon and I believe (and say it ALL the time) that this part is the worst! .

How did I miss this?!? How r u doing?!? Updates pleaseeeeeeeee

For sure! I'll be soo excited to post it Tuesday

No- but I go in to meet my surgeon on Tuesday so I should have it then

I had a reduction a few years ago. Don't regret it for a second and even with the weight gain- the girls still stand at attention. I hope to lose some and am confident they won't totally go away. Yey girls!

Prayers for u

I think it's a great idea and quite insightful. I'm a psychotherapist (now supervising) and believe general is just fine. I wouldn't agree with needing a certain amount of years for experience as much as quality- you can have not so good veteran behavioral professionals who are clueless. I like your Idea of going with who you know.

Yum! What stage could someone have this (just a pre op person right now)

Good luck today!!

Yey! Rest up and hope to hear you're home soon congrats!

You're going to do great- positive thoughts

Ok then. I'll accept that . How long r untaking off work?

AND my selfishness kept me from saying congrats!!! That's what I really mean . Excited for u!!!!
