Omg I'm finally approved!!! My consult with the surgeon is Sept 9th, seems like I started this just so long ago yeah me! :-)

Congratulations

Remarkable story! Congratulations on your weight loss, Tummy Tuck, nsv's and your commitment to going to school! You have inspired me to do almost the exact same! It's my dream to get a degree in business's management.

I am a pastor - and had weight loss surgery. While I don't share the how - I do share the weight loss. It made me healthy again. The question of how does faith interfere with the decision process to me is like asking a cancer patient if they are gonna do chemo if they are a christian. What does that have to do with it?

Good answer Pastor. I believe that God gave the doctors the ability to help patients in ALL aspects.

Kewl! My surgery date is also Sept 26!

Congratulations! Good luck with your new lifestyle change:)

I do consider myself a Christian, I have personal relationship with God. I too prayed about the surgery and asked God if it's His will that everything would go through with my insurance because I wouldn't be able to afford the out of pocket expenses. I waited for my approval and received the call on the 27th of the 30 days that I was told that it could take. I thanked The Lord and cried tears of joy. I feel even more blessed that God allowed me such a chance to become healthier. I also prayed that my new life style change wouldn't interfere with neither my thoughts or my husband although I met him at a way smaller weight, it's been a while and he's just as excited. My date is scheduled for September 26, 2014. I pray that all goes well with you:)

I got my approval call and my surgery date yesterday!! August 26, 2014!! My date is exactly from the day I received the life changing call! September 26, 2014 is a new beginning for me! So far, working with Dr. Prachand and his entire team has been a great experience for me, I will update during my pre op diet and my post op testimony:)

Thank you all! My surgery date is scheduled for September 26, 2014!! I'm so excited! Now I can really clean out my closet and pack what I'm actually taking when we move!

My sleeve is scheduled for September 26! Yay!
