Congratulations! You must be very excited, relieved, and nervous!

Glad you had such a positive experience. It is so comforting to hear positive stories about life post-op. Congratulations on making your goal weight!

So I had my appointment with the surgeon, nutritionist, insurance specialist. I have a list of things to do before my request is submitted to insurance. My surgeon requires a 10 pound weight loss, 1 hour a day exercise, and cessation of carbonated beverages prior to surgery. My out of pocket is $7k with $3500 due 1 week before surgery and the remaining $3500 will be on a payment plan. I am overwhelmed just typing all of this let alone executing it! I'm sure most of you can relate. I am just feeling blessed that even though its overwhelming, it's totally achievable! Just don't know where to start ????

Best of luck to you!

Hi! This is my 1st post here. I am a 44 y.o. married mom of 4. I am in the very beginning stages of this process. I actually have my 3 hour initial appointment today! I'm excited and nervous about this. So, I just wanted to "introduce" myself. I'm sure I will have questions after my appointment. Looking forward to talking with and supporting you all.

Congratulations! This is exciting!

Thanks for the welcome! I love this site already. @Erica2013 I pray you get a yes real soon!
