Hi Grammy1! welcome from another newbie....I just posted right before you did. I too am excited but nervous about the whole process. I am pre-op and waiting on insurance approval, which I hear can be sometimes very trying and difficult. I guess I just need to stay positive and looking forward to gaining my health back! Hope to see you around the boards!

Hi Everyone! So glad I found this site! My name is Sherrie, I am 40 and live in Liberty, MO, suburb of Kansas City. I am pre-op and going through the insurance hoops of getting approval before a date will be set for my surgery. I am still learning so much about the procedure and hope to make great friends through this venue to helping me along our way to wellness. I will be Dr. Stanley Hoehn's patient if all gets taken care of with my insurance. I have already seen the dietician, been going through 6 months of supervised medical dieting with my primary physician and attended 2 sessions with a clinical psychologist. I think I am getting closer to the reality that this surgery could definitely happen and help me regain my confidence, health and overall wellbeing. Thanks for telling me about this site, KCbanders!!! :smile:
