So after 8 months and 7 doctors, I finally got clearance for the surgery and my insurance approved it immediately. I am scheduled for August 11. I still have to do a sleep study cause I have low blood oxygen and they want to get me a CPAP before surgery, if necessary, and a blood test found another issue that could compromise the date, so I have to see another doctor and have an MRI next week.

While I am excited, I am also apprehensive. I sorta feel like the little yodelee guy on The Price is Right. I climbed up the mountain - but if I go any further I may fall over the cliff and not win the car. I want to win the car.

You will win that car...best of luck to you, and be sure to keep us posted on your weightloss journey!

Hang in there it took me a year but I got there and I trust you will too.

I found out I had to us a CPAP as well that's what held it up for me. I was told I was going to have to take the CPAP with me for the op.

Good Luck to you.

Did you have your surgery? Did you need the CPAP after? Not being able to breathe is a phobia of mine. I am so afraid of getting out of surgery and not being able to breathe.
