Can I just tell you how excited I am? I've put off surgery 3 times in the past - once because I lost my job (and my insurance), and twice because my insurance changed to one that didn't cover surgery during open enrollment or only covered a band or a bypass (which I knew I couldn't live with).

I'm almost 4 months through my 6 month pre-op weight management program and we just got our open enrollment packet yesterday. FINALLY getting to go from one year to another without a change! I might actually get to have the surgery this time!

Yay!

Congrats!

Thank you! Seems like a trivial thing to get excited about, but now that this particular unknown has been dealt with, it feels real

Way to stay with it. It's a long process.. took me almost a year from the decision to the surgery. I had to do the 6 month pre diet as well for my insurance. With such determination and focus.. I'm sure you'll do well.

Thank you! I am so looking forward to this!
