Is it too early to start an April thread? I didn't see one yet.

I'm scheduled for April 22. I still have to finish PCP clearance and psych then insurance approval but don't anticipate any problems. Once I started my appointments the excitement and anxiety kicked in. I started 6 month supervised diet in August....this used to seem so far away and like a vague idea but its so real now. My anxiety is double as my husband's date is march 18 and I worry a lot more about him than myself. How are all the other April folks doing?

I started looking into to wsl in 09. The surgeon i wanted at the time was only covered by 50% by my insurance. He was out of network by 16 miles and they would not budge. The place they would cover i refused to go to because they did not have a good track record and were not a coe hospital.

We ended up moving because of my husbands job' date=' so along came new insurance. Went to yet another seminar for a new surgeon and i felt like he was just pushing cattle through a chute. That was fall of 2010.

2012 my husbands employer dropped wls from the policy but added it back this year so i jumped on it. Ended up deciding on a Dr in Bismarck Nd and loved his vibe and personality. I worked in a hospital for 12 years and you can start to know a Dr by his

demeanor.

I live up by the Canadian border so no matter where i go i have to drive for hours. I'm thankful he is almost four hours away, most of my specialists are 5 to 6.5 hours away.

I've failed in dieting most of my life. Never had a weight prob growing up, it started after i had my two daughters. I could loose 40 and gain back 60. But the last two years due to some illnesses i can't loose weight, i can gain it but its hell losing five pounds. Sorry for the rant i got carried away. I'm just so darn happy and keep pinching myself to make sure its really happening. Come on April 11!

I'm trying to make my own broths. Some good and some taste like well you know... But, I like to experiment so. I got some that are good to freeze and some break down fast. I was told to remember what i can eat in soups and strain them. Hopefully this helps.

So I decided to start our groups list of surgery dates since we are getting SOOOO many! April will be here before we know it!

Thanks Dorian!! =)

Yay we will need to start a new thread for our post ops soon!!!

I have anthem as well! I guess they may have approved me early' date=' but my surgeon is against submitting early. They want to have everything the insurance requires in order, so the chances of quick approval are better. Make sense I guess, even tho the waiting sucks![/quote']

I have anthem bcbs. They did not require a six month diet and I have no medical conditions. I thought for sure it would be the end of the year before I would have surgery.. guess not!
