My name is Terri and I have been reading this forum daily since I discovered it! This is exactly what I needed to comfort the unknown and give me the support needed to proceed. I have met with the surgeon, dietician and the psychologist. I need to call the surgeon tomorrow and see how the insurance coverage is going. I feel very confident in my surgeon and his team which is really important when having surgery. I am seeing Dr. Bhoyrul, at Scripps in La Jolla, CA. I wanted the best surgeon and hospital within my vicinity. I am so looking forward to looking great again! :thumbup: It has been a L-O-N-G time.

My best to all the Bandsters on this forum and all their hard work. I am looking forward to walking on this journey together.

Thanks Majj. No surgery date set yet. The paperwork still needs to be submitted. More time to focus on getting ready!
