I had my first surgeon visit yesterday. (My program does it a little different - exercise class, dietician, psych clearance, then the first surgeon visit) He said my "belly is perfect" for surgery and thinks I will do "fabulous". My goal loss for surgery is 10 pounds, which I have already exceeded. I met with the insurance specialist, who said that I needed to try to get one more visit in so I had 3 months of a supervised program. I pulled out 4 or 5 doctor notes and she said "Never mind, this counts. I'll get everything together and put in for approval." I have my surgical clearance appt scheduled for 8/18 and my 2nd surgeon visit for 9/28 which is when my surgery date will be scheduled.

I'm so glad to finally see things moving forward!!!
