Hello Everyone! I'm very happy to report that I finally received my approval from insurance and have a surgery date...yea!! June 19th, 2013 for roux en y gastric bypass is the big day for me. This has been a long time coming as I started this process back in November of 2012. I won't bore you with the lengthy details that prolonged my getting to this point, however I will say that my general anxiety disorder was a concern that needed to be addressed before they would proceed with me. I'd like to say that I'm just naturally an intense and nervous nelly, however the psychiatrist opened my eyes to some things I didn't know about myself. Though I was not happy about not getting approved right away, the counseling was the best thing I could've done. As you can imagine, I'm both scared and happy! For all those that have gone before me, if you have any suggestions or advice I'd love to hear it. Feel free to comment, post , or just smile at me for that matter. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Take care! Kelly
