  2. Thank for all the support.... Have a feeling I'm gonna need it. One minute I'm so exited and the next I'm like holy s&@t what am i doing!
  3. It means my surgeon got the approval from the insurance company.... My grandma always said there is no such thing as a stupid question.. If you don't ask you don't find out the answer...
  4. Just got a call from my surgeon office...... I'M APPROVED!!!!! was sure it was gonna be a struggle, and was ready to be disappointed. I laughed like a loon when she told me they approved it....

  9. It if better if they are painted a lighter color... Easier for the finger monitor you will probably have on to pick up your pulse and oxygen level
  10. I have my surgery penciled in for April 22 ( 2 days before my birthday).. Just because i have to do my work schedule 2 months in advance. Have talked in depth with my dietician and she sees no reason for me not to be approved... But final say is up to insurance.. Figured a month would give me plenty of time if i have to appeal or supply more paperwork.

  18. First off.. Happy Birthday!!!!!! Second... I loved this post! I am still pre-sleeve, but reading this gave me hope about my life in the future.
