I received a call this morning to schedule me as the approval was faxed back to the office the same day!!!???!!! I didn't expect it to happen this fast. I thought I would have more time to prepare. I don't know how to feel... Is my health that bad? I'm still trying to process it all. September 6th is the day!

Great Afternoon! I went into this process thinking it would take months to complete. It has been surprisingly easy and now that my file will be submitted to the insurance company for approval Monday, I'm getting anxious. My procedure could be done as early as the first week of September. I plan to buy all the shakes, broth, and Jello, ect. this week. I am going to start my liquid diet next week. I don't have any local support during this process as I haven't told anyone that I've decided to do it. I also have to have a hiatal hernia repaired at the same time(adding to my anxiety). I will be relying heavily on this app to connect with like minded people. Good luck everyone!
