Well I got my approval letter today from my insurance company. It's really starting to sink in that this is gonna happen. My surgery date is April 23rd. I start my pre-op diet April 9th. I'm really starting to get nervous now. Lol. I know that's normal but I'm probably gonna be crazy by the time I get my surgery.

Ok then congratulation it feels great when you receive your approval for surgery.

Yes it does. What's your story?

Well i 've been trying to get the weight loss surgery for about 3 ys now i got approved about two weeks ago.I have been over weight for my whole life and i reached 320lbs and figured that it is time for a change...never to late to change so here i am counting down the days...

Bianca good for you. My weight is 297. I have been overweight all of my life too but this is the most I have weighed. In the las 18 months I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and asthma.
