Congrats the following people, tomorrow is your big day. NYsLegend78, donnalys, LadyT39, 1reign, lemonchick, Brian-LA. I hope you all have a fast recover. I had my last visit with my surgeon today be for my surgery. I did lost 7lbs. before starting the pre op diet, my surgery said he will submit my largest weight, to the insure co. I asked when will I hear if I've been approved or not, I was told the hospital will call if I'm not approved, but I asked if his office will call if I'm approved or not. My paper work will be submitted today or tomorrow. I do think everything is a go. I was told the day before my surgery I have to be on all liquids. I can not have anything after midnight, I can take my presser meds with a small sip of water the morning of my surgery. I will be staying over night.
