got my approval letter from the insurance company yesterday; called the doctor and my surgery is set for October 6th. This is what I have been wishing and praying for but the panic is starting to set in. I have my pre-op appointment with the surgeon this morning. I love this board and all the information and sharing that goes on here. Guess I had better figure out how to do that "ticker tape" thing.

Here is a thread with the instructions for a ticker.

Congrats on the approval. The surgery will be over and done before you know it.

Best wishes for a smooth surgery and speedy recovery.

I also just got approved and decided I needed to read more so I've joined this board. I'm glad to hear that there are others who are just starting out.

I wish you all the best - for me this feels like a huge opportunity to make important changes in my life. I am so glad for all the information and support.

Congrats! Being nervous is only natural!
