Yep teared up... I know it is just me being insecure... I really really want to believe this. I rem, being 135 pounds and my dance teacher being disgusted with me. So, I can't even get the courage to go to the track or the gym. I do envy her.

Awesome news! Hope you are all better soon! I am in the waiting game too. They should be submitting me for approval (fingers crossed) next week. Just waiting on the nutritionist signature. She only signs things on Tuesdays.

PaulB is right! This is a great place and everyone is very helpful. It has been a blessing for me. I have never had surgery and being able to ask questions and read what others have openly posted has been a blessing. Good luck to both of you!

Welcome! Everyone here is fantastic and very helpful. Good luck to you.

OH I know what you mean. :-) Good luck to you! It is so hard but it will be worth it. hang in there

I swear they do this crap on purpose. I have avoided my PCP at all costs. I really don't have one but I know if I MUST deal with the office staff it is going to be awful. I know the job sucks but they just don't care. We have to remind them that we are the CUSTOMER. Gtood Luck!!!!

This is a common side effect of low iron. Be careful :-)

Wow that's a huge success. Way to go!

They Are ready to submit for my approval as soon as the nutritionist signs off. That should be Tuesday. We will see how long it takes.

Any other Nov folks out there?

I also did the three months with Aetna in a Center of Excellance, multidisciplinary approach. They are submitting me next week for approval with the three months. I am going to keep up with my weight tracking and weigh ins just to be safe. I have heard they approve fast but the center I am going to does not deal with them a lot so they can't give me a time frame.

WHOO HOO! That is SOO awesome!! I am going through UPMC but with Aetna insurance. They are submitting me next week. I can hardly stand it.

Way to go!!! It's such an awesome feeling.

So glad to hear you are doing well. Gives us all preop folks hope. Good luck!!

Thanks. It was good to reread this again!!

Hi and good luck. I have found research and this board has helped me tremendously. I've never had surgery so it has helped with the anxiety.

Hi!! Great support here. :-)

Welcome and good luck. Never heard of soup and jelly. Is that for preop?

Hi and welcome. This is the best place. Great people and support.

I'm so surprised no one has mentioned pregnancy to me. I'm 40 and married. My hubby had a vasectomy in April but they don't know that.

So happy for you!!!

They just needed a clear Pap test within the last three years. I'm good to go! Yea. Thanks all!!!

All the testing is done and had my last weigh in. They are going to submit next week. Ugh I'm so nervous. My boss is going to freak out. That goodness I can do some work from home.

Good luck to you!! May things continue to go well.

I'm in the same boat. All the test are done final weigh in. And now I sit....
