June 3rd here. This last month has flown by...only 2 weeks to go. I go on May 28 for final pre-op testing. I'm not nervous about surgery, just nervous about after surgery. Will I be able to stick with this. I'm 51 and been obese since I was 10 years old. Wondering what will happen when I lose the 120 lbs. I know I can do it, just scared.

My surgery is set for June 3. I'm in upstate New York. I don't have a pre-op diet or endoscopy. Lost 12 lbs so far and am ready to get the surgery done...just getting everything set in my pantry and making my list of things to take to the hospital. I will be home by myself after surgery. My best friend that was to help me has left me high and dry. But I went through gall bladder surgery by myself. I can get through this as well. I love all the support everyone gets on this forum.

Is anyone out here in New York having problems with Medicare covering the VSG? I was told yesterday they only cover lap band, duod switch, and R Y. Any help is appreciated. I am scheduled for 6/3/13, but not sure if I can do it now. Thanks.

My date is June 3...can't wait. Been in the process for 8 months. Had to get 2nd psych eval done which delayed, then had insurance issues...leaving Medicaid for medicare due to disability, not age. All the insurance stuff sucks trying to figure out premiums, deductibles, and copays. Enough delays, I want to get on with it. lol.

Tomorrow is the day for me...maybe???? I had a heart attack 2 years ago and got the clearance from my cardiologist this past December. They called me yesterday and said the anesthesia guy was making a stink because Doctor didn't indicate that I had a stent put in way back when. Nurse said that it should be ok since the stent was placed 2 years before the clearance letter was submitted. Surgeon knows about it. I guess I will find out when I go to check in tomorrow at 10:00am est. Surgery is at noon. Good luck to all those who are pre-op and post-op...hugs.
