Morning everyone

Well, my surgery's been moved back a week because the surgeon had a schedule conflict. Now, I'm September 25th, with you Rachel! At least it's still Sept. I've come to like our group. I hope everyone is doing well.

weeeeeeeee a surgery sister.

Unfortunately I am in atrial fib again although I am ignoring it and am at work. I think the new medicine is helping as I don't feel as bad as I usually do. No head ache or dizziness or shortness of breath. I have to reobtain my cardiac clearance and he surely won't clear me if I am in fib.

so once I convert back to sinus rhythm I will make my appointment. This really has to stop.

Hi everyone! I'm having my surgery September 10. I started my journey in August 2011. I completed all of my requirements in April 2012 and my insurance denied me in June 2012 because the hospital my doctor used was not recognized as a Center of Excellence by Cigna even though it was by other insurances. So' date=' I started over with a new doctor in June 2012 and got my approval last week on the first submission. I actually am really happy I had to switch doctors as I LOVE my new doctor and the hospital I'll be at in San Diego is much better than my local one. Four more weeks! September's going to be a new beginning for many of us!![/quote']

Yay!!! I am having mine sept. 10th also in Dallas,Tx.... Getting soo excited.. I am teyong

Just got told today I was approved by insurance, and they have me scheduled for 9/11 (scary date!)

[moffie 16]

Steve I'm 9/11 too! We will always remember the date of our new beginning, won't we!

[pebbles7673 11]

Yeah!!! When's your surgery? I go to my final pre op appt on Wednesday. I'm so excited but starting to get butterflies every time I think about this really happening.

September 5th! You? Yes...the nerves come and go with me.

I see some talk about vitamins....my Dr told me even Flintstone chewable would work fine. But I had my appoint with bariatric resources and they gave me some samples(which tasted ok for vitamins) but each Vitamin was a different will. They only had on multi vitamin in the whole pack....what have you guys seen or heard??

I would post this under the questions area or as a new thread as most of us are pre op and don't have the knowledge to share you. I did buy some Vitamins from Unjury to get the free shipping lol have not started them yet though.

TGIF I made it to work all week even though I was discharged from hospital on Monday and just got out of my wheel chair and took my suitcase with me to my office and worked all day and had a smaller different bout of my AFib weds night and went to work. Thank goodness this time with the new meds I did not have the dizziness or head ache I usually have so I could drive. Just felt irregularity in my heart and a bit fluttery. I converted after lunch and have been ok since.....knock on wood NOW!

[MustangSteve 31]

Yes, a date that we will never forget! Just counting down the days now

[Stardusted 13]

Ugh my dr pushed my date to Sept 24th. I'm pretty bummed about it. It was due to insurance reasons. Oh well....
