Hi, my name is Dana and I'm 36 yrs old and in the process of jumping through all the insurance and surgeon's hoops to get my surgery date. I have over 200 lbs to lose and have decided on the bypass. I've already had all my pre op blood work, chest xray, EKG, Upper GI. Just went to the Dr. that supervises my CPAP and got his approval today. I go to the cardiologist next week the following week to the dietician. My insurance requires 3 months supervision, so I'm really hoping for a surgery date in June. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you!!!

Welcome! I wish you much success

Good luck on your journey. Well worth the time.

Best of luck on your journey. It goes fast believe it or not. I had a six month supervised diet and it still went fast when all was said and done. My process started in May and I had surgery the end of January. Lots of great support and information. Bottom line is follow the program your surgeon has put together. As you read on here you will notice all the discrepancies-and when it comes down to it you want to be successful so follow your rules and you will do great....

Welcome!

I'm looking at a June surgery date too! We can support each other through the process and the hoops.

I will probably be in June too!!! I am really getting excited!!!

Good luck!!
