Hello, everyone! So very inspired by your success stories!!! I'm in the per op process now, have had 1 dr appt and seen the nutritionist once. Have all my other appointments set for August, then workshops and finally SURGERY :D

Probably looking at October. I'd love to know how everyone is doing and looking for some encouragement. BTW, my surgeon is Dr. Kruger at Tobey. Hope everyone is doing great and look forward to hearing from you :)

Hello, everyone, did any of you have BCBS of Ma? The paperwork was submitted to them last Friday and I was just wondering how long they might take. Doctors office said they can take up to 3 weeks. I hope it's a lot sooner :)
