  11. Hi everyone! I'm new! Well not really, I've been here quite a while reading about all the ins and outs...watching others journeys. This is my first post! What a blessing this forum is! I've read so many inspiring and helpful posts from people who know exactly how I feel! I appreciate any responses and want to say congratulations and good luck to you all!! I have been through many different emotions before surgery as the rest of you have and have now gotten to the point where I just can't wait to get this done! I am so ready to start my new life!!! I have been through all of my appts with the specialists, dietitian, nutrionalist, psychologist, and 3 month of doctors visits. I am now just waiting for my patient advocate to call me with a date. I am so excited and look forward to sharing this journey with all of you!
  12. That makes sense. Do you recommend calling throughout the process OR after you've gotten clearance from all specialists, dietitian appts, nutritionalist classes???
  13. Congratulations! Keep up the good work girl!!! AND Kudos to your friends as well. I am having my surgery done by Dr. Wegner as well. I have gotten my clearance from all doctors, been to the dietitian, went to both nutrition classes and am just now waiting for a call to schedule my surgery. When is it that they look to the insurance company for approval? I haven't heard anything about this part of the process...:/
