I am completely excited, nervous and ready! I still cant believe that they gave me a tentative date. Feb 12th is the day my life will change. I have my final evaluation class Wed and my Preop Ed Class that following Mon then paper work gets sent off to the insurance and i wait for my approval(positive thinking) I am so ready for this. This process for me has been very fast because i didn't have to do any diet programs just the requirements to make sure im healthy for surgery and everything came back great. All i keep thinking is what is my life going to be like after this? How will it be to finally be healthy and slim(lol slim) I can't wait. I so glad i have you all to come on here and share my story with. Please feel free to share your journeys with me

congrats so happy for you. Now crossing fingers and toes for a quick approval and you will be on your way to a new way of living. And living you will do. It is the best

That is awesome! I'll be watching your progress ...how long did it take you from your first dr. visit till now? What insurance do you have? I go for my first dr. visit the end of the month...already nervous about it.

Congrats! I am finally having mine on Valentines day!

My first appt for my doc was Nov 29. I have Medicaid HMO Anthem Healthkeeper. The crazy thing is I had lost my insurance because I lost my job n wouldn't be able to afford Cobra but thanks to God he made a way for me to still get healthy.
