I started this journey for insurance authorization in May and just found out late Friday I am approved for surgery.

I am feeling relief, fear, joy and know more than ever this is my year for change for the better. I have seen many ppl this week having a hard time with mobility because of the extra weight they carry. I don't want to end up that way. So grateful for this second chance. No more excuses.

I am not nervous about surgery, but apprehensive about getting time off, two weeks, around a demanding fall work schedule. Told my boss about the surgery, but did not have a date. Maybe Sept 24th.

My surgeon did not tell me I had to lose a certain # of pounds so far. And I haven't. I have a six week plan, and the two week no carb eating plan just before surgery.

Time to be all in and embrace this with open arms. Should hear from the surgeon this week for pre op appointment.

That is so exciting!! I started my journey in July and I'm more nervous about getting approved to have it than actually having the surgery! I can't wait to feel that relief, to be able to embrace it, and I'm happy that you're getting yours done so quickly! It makes me hopeful for my journey.

Good luck to you!!

Thanks, the longer I go the more my joints hurt... Good bye 320, hello 180 !!!

You will do great!

This was one of my most exciting moments my insurance approval. 2nd was gettin.g my surgery date which was June 28. It's easy to be a ball of nerves with every surgery but I must say that it was one of the easiest surgeries I have had. But i know thats not the same for everybody. I just want to say congratulations and wishing you the best. We are all so lucky to have a 2nd opportunity.
