I too am scheduled for my surgery on the 31st of Jan. Next week is coming up very fast and I am a bit nervous and overwhelmed. I went to see my Nutritionist today and also saw the Patient Coordinator for my Surgeon there was so much information coming at me that it can be a bit nerve racking. However, I have found that reading through the posts and seeing the success stories helps me to relax. Well, I will have to check back with you to see how things are going. E-mail me or send me a note on how you are doing...we will be going through this at the same time. Good luck and chat at you soon.

Beth~ I was just reading and came to your post. What do you mean by "you just don't have many?" I am just curious and I hope I am not interrupting a conversation.

I will have to let you all know how it goes. I have been reading some much about everything out here. Thanks for the interest in my post...this type of communication can be great, but it also seems like someone words can get very easily missed. I look forward to future posts!

I have never heard of someone having to lose weight for this to be approved by their insurance. I have had the best insurance throughout this entire process. I am now scheduled for surgery Jan 31, 2008.....that is next week. I am a bit nervous, but I am excited all the same. I think that I will miss certain foods, but I can always have a small taste later on if I really feel the need. Good luck with your approval and getting started!

I am new to this form of support and chat. I just thought I would jump in and say hello and add my name to the January 2008 list.
