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

Yay!!! I am having mine sept. 10th also in Dallas,Tx.... Getting soo excited.. I am trying to find the best OTC vitamins for post op... They had bariatric advantage come and try to sell to us, but i have to wonder if there are cheaper alternatives..anyone know of any??

I am also Sept 10th going in for my preop stuff monday the 27th.

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

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

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!

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

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