Thanks Sun! I appreciate that. I can't dare think about how impatient I will be as the time gets closer for me. I can't even wait five days for bits of info!

I totally understand. Keep me posted!!!

I know this is an old post but I am using Dr. Avara also. I have a surgery date of April 15th. I only have one more visit with the NUT next friday and I see Dr. Avara for my last appointment before my surgery on April 10th. I have done every thing the office says I need to do with my insurance but they will not submit it until after next Friday. I'm nervous about getting approved. I guess its just because insurance companies can be so difficuld some times. Have you had your surgery yet?

Any suggestions or advice????

Hi! I have had an awesome experience with my surgery!! I was really anxious about the insurance at that same point. Just remember that they pre-certified you after your information session. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have or share my experience. Just send a pm.

I also had an awesome experience and continue to have an awesome experience. My journey has gone without a single hitch and I have lost 72lbs and am 6 lbs from goal. It seems so surreal still, but you will be here before you know it. Totally natural to be anxious at this point. They will take care of you every step of the way. Dr. Avara and staff are amazing.
