I am very interested in supporting others on this journey and I will need support too. My surgery date is January 6 and I am in California!

Hey, it's you again! You're stalking me in reverse, right? I'm also January 6 and am glad to have a place for January folks to gather.

Hey everyone I'm also January 6 and I live in Texas

Where are you in the process have you finished all your preop stuff

@nairobi78 I have been to the free seminar at the Bariatric COE, I have done my sleep study, and been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, and am compliant with my c-pap. I have just completed my 6 months Dr supervised Diet, where I lost zilch, Now I am awaiting January 2, when my insurance kicks in, I will call and enroll that day in the bariatric program with UHC. What's next?

I have my pre-op this Friday, blood test, upper GI and EKG. Then I meet with the surgeon. I will know then when I need to start the diet. I am excited and nervous. 4 weeks from tomorrow!

January 10th so nervous as its getting closer it's making me rethink this decision ????

Assuming insurance approves i should be the first week in Jan or the middle. Im soo scared they will deny. Its almost been too easy (not literally, but you get the idea.)

@@Dolce_xxv, are you having a serious "rethink this decision" crisis, or just freaking out a little bit because suddenly **** got real? If it's the latter, I totally feel you. Do you want to talk about it more? How can we help?

@@MrsB2007, I went through some last-minute temporary insanity where I was just sure insurance was going to turn me down, but it's all come out right in the end. I saw what you posted elsewhere about being on the cusp and having questions/concerns about not having the "right" comorbidities. I am crossing my fingers for you and look forward to hearing that you're approved and moving ahead.
