I just now joined this message board. I live in Northern Michigan and we have been to the seminar in Port Huron. We have our doctor's appointment 2/22 and hope to get a surgery date at that time. We means my husband and I. We are both going to have the surgery done. I'm anxious to get in here and become acquainted with you all and to read through the threads.

That's great that you're doing it together. Built in support bigtime. How did you choose your doc?

I went online and found the Center of Excellence in Port Huron. Figured that would be a good place with an award like that!!

It'll be nice to do it together I'm sure. Plus it helps not to have someone sitting besodes you eating while you're drinking chicken broth..my sister did that to me the other day and I wanted to jump her and take the pizza!! It was awful..she told me to just chew on a piece..itd make me feel better...all I could think ok was running with that pizza..HAHA..So Im sure that going at it together will be nice

It really will be. And the surgeon said they would do both of us the same day so that's kewl too.

Sure hope we get approval from the insurance company in a timely fashion. We're jumping through the hoops now.

Welcome!! It is good that you guys are going to do it together. My huny is supportive, but he doesn’t 100% agree with the surgery.

My approval took approx 3 weeks from the insurance. I understand that this is not a long time to wait, so I wish a speedy decision for you as well.

Teachlady- Welcome to LBT! How nice that you and your husband will be going on this journey together. That is wonderful! This forum is great-filled with alot of information, support, and guidance. Hope you both get your surgery date soon. Gigi
