Hey everyone! Newbie here . . . just in the pre-op/waiting for insurace approval stage . . . . very excited and hopeful, but also a little nervous about the changes.

Hey I'm in AZ too. What doc did u choose? I am located at Ft. Huachuca. I think I'm going to go with dr.Schwartz in Tucson.

I'm in Phoenix Arizona I'm going to Dr.Terry Simpson. I haven't had my surgery yet doing a three month waiting period that my insurance wants.

Hi! AZ here! I'm seeing Dr. Monash in Tucson. Amazing team and the BEST doctor around!! Best of luck!!

34 mom~ I'm in the same place! I'm hoping to have the surgery in December. I have Aetna . .. so I'm in the 3 month waiting period too. I'm having trouble losing weight pre-surgery. I was told not to lose too much bc my bmi is 37 and I have to be above 35 to get approved. . . . I'm excited, but nervous.
