I think it would make sense to get power of attorney and will done before hand... I dont know why I only just throught of that... ah dear, another expense

I know it's so weird how I've waited a whole year to be approved and now that its real I'm super scared not to freak anyone out but dose anyone know death rate some people say 1-50 which I think is crap others say 1-200 and then 1-1500 who the hell is telling the truth because I am really freaking out!!!! I have 5 kids so I'm just trying to get some real answers plus I'm in Scottsbluff Nebraska and my surgeon has done more lap/bands than any other hospital in Colorado' date='Wyoming ect. But it dose not say much about bypass I know he's done Beriatric surgery sience the 80s and had an award for banding but the hospital it's self has a crappy reputation ;([/quote']

Holy crap that's a lot if kids lol I am 33 and have the following 19years 16 years 15 years 13 years and 11 years. Ooh and I have a 1 1/2 grand son. I had my pre op today the Internal dr said that the death rate is actually less . He said they say its high to scare off people and scare them to lose weight. Like seriously . I have lots to live for and as I see we all do.

I have 11' date='10, 5,4,3 so I'm freaking out my hospital is Regional West Medical Center see that's what I was thinking too around 1000 or so but ugh!!! I have lots of anxiety, I'm freaking out man!!! Lol what's your surgery date?[/quote']

Yep Falicia_gomez@yahoo.com

Wow!! All the kids!! :-). It's so cool!

Anyway I'm scared too. It's hard not to be but I keep thinking I can't get this weight off My dad died last year at 61 from a heart attack. I know his lifestyle and weight were a major cause. You don't want that to be us. Even though I'm 40 I miss him terribly. You want to be there as long as possible for your kids and wonderful grand babies!!!

Well said worm ! Sorry to hear about your dad.... The older we get the harder the weight is on our body.....

I'm waiting for you to post your surgery date I'm so excited for you

Congrats on your date worm!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I drove my husband crazy last night with all the worrying, if even went as far as to say I'm going to cancel my surgery because I'm nervous.

I know if I dont get my surgery I'm going to die young, I'm 29 and my mom passed away 3 months ago at the age of 57 from a heart attack/ heart disease.

ugh! I hate this feeling especially when I fought hard won my appeal and now this.

Hi guys! Read all your stories, happy for everyone who has a surgery date already. I'm still waiting on approval. I wish you all the best. It's a change for the better. I like reading everyone comments bcuz I feel the same way. Cross your fingers for me, I'm hoping to get approved quick

Hi karmagirl... My youngest baby will be 6 months next month, I thought i was the only one getting surgery with an infant... I feel better now lol.

I will be praying you get your approval fast, waiting is the annoying part.
