I am still in the process, I have sleep apnea so I have to be on the cpap machine 30 days prior to surgery so I don't have a surgery date yet. This is my very last step before insurance submittal. Getting close here but I am here if you need anything...

Congratulations on taking such a big step.
The best advice I can give is learn as much as you can, ask lots of questions, and write everything down. Your program may give you a notebook to keep up with all of the information you receive, but if they don't you may want to get a big three ring binder to keep up with everything.
You have posted in the bypass forum so I assume you are planning to have the bypass. If you aren't familiar with the other options, I encourage you to learn about all of the available procedures and work with your surgeon to determine which one is best for you.
Also, stay positive, proactive, persistent, and patient throughout the process.
Best of luck.
