:-) So....I got a call from the hospital basically making sure my check in information was correct for when I go into surgery...so I called United to find out if I was approved and they said yes!!!!!!!! I'm so happy after 3 weeks of biting my nails im so relieved!!! I start my liquid diet Wednesday the 18th...there was some confusion about the surgery date I was told its May 2nd but the Insurance has April 25th down either way I'm exited I'm so ready to start this new journey :-D

You are so fortunate to have this done at a younger age. I wish I had done this 10 yrs ago. Were they even doing this 10 yrs ago? Anyway, you have a great life of adventure in front of you.

So happy for you. Hope to get my approval soon too.
