So glad I tapped into this blog! I was worried about the same thing and I haven't had my surgery yet! Thanks for the info! Have a wonderful day ladies!

You can do it!

Good Luck! Praying for a speedy recovery too!

That's great! Good luck and on to a speedy recovery!

Good luck, you will be fine! Congratulations on becoming the new and improved!!!

That's wonderful!

I am a little special. I'm sorry it's on the 15th! Sorry! I will be there in spirit. My surgery is not until 2pm that day! Good Luck!

Good morning! I am excited as well. After years of being dissappointed with my insurance, I decidied to finance my surgery. I will be having my surgery on the 8th of February which is next Friday. My family and friends are just as excited as I am! Forgot to mention I am from Dallas, Tx and I will be having my surgery in Dallas at Forest Park Medical by Dr. Dirk! The funny thing is that he was going to perform it 8 years ago and then everything went south! I went back to him in January and he along with his staff remember me! Love it! Good Luck to all of us February Sleevers!

Congratulations! Praying for you! God Bless!

Congratulations! You got this!

Best of Luck! Praying for a speedy recovery

@StephF89 Hello. Sorry I wasn't on here yesterday looking at the Superbowl! However, my surgery is on the 15th of February and I am a self paying patient. Insurance wouldn't cover, so I had to do it on my own!

Hello! February 15th is my date! I have never been so ready! It's been an 8 year struggle dealing with insurance after insurance! So now self paying! I hope everyone here has a safe and speedy recovery! Good Luck!

Good luck! Praying that everything is a success for you!

Good morning. Aetna is still doing the same thing I see. 8 years ago the day before my surgery they called to tell me that they would not pay for my surgery because I hadn't been to a dietician for 6 months! You might as well get going, because they stick to there decisions!

Good Luck! I know you will be a success!

Thank you for the information! Not only was it informative, but you gave everything from point A - Z! Congratulations on you weight loss and I wish you continued success! I decided to join the board for support and I am glad I made that decision. Keep up the good work!

Good luck! Praying that everything turns out good for you and a speedy recovery!

I have had 1 major surgery so far and this will be my the 2nd. I pray that everything will turnout alright! It will be okay! Think positive thoughts!

Sounds like your just as anxious as I am! I have started packing my belongings, haven't got my protein drinks or vitamins yet! I will finish getting the rest of my stuff this weekend! I'm not nervous, just ready! February 15th can't get here soon enough! Next week I will have my chest x-ray and ECG!

That's great! Keep it up!

My husband also had the bypass surgery. Not only did he gain more self confidence, he went buck wild! I was supportive of him then and now he supports me 100%! Could be ego? IJS! It will be okay in the end!

8 years ago one day before I was to have the gastric bypass insurance called and said they decline to pay for the surgery because I hadn't seen a dietician for 6 months. Well 8 years later I am going back to the same doctor and I am a self paying patient! I know I am making the right decision! Good Luck! I think we will both be alright. I am having my surgery on the 15th of February! We can do this!

Good morning. I am having my surgery on the 14th of February which is a Friday and my doctor told me I could return to work that following Monday which is the 18th! But I decided for myself to take off the following week. I guess it just depends on what you can tolerate and your doctor opinion.
