The Beginning

Hello! My name is Vanessa. I am in the process of getting approved for Gastric Bypass Surgery. It's been quite the emotional roller coaster but everyone's pre and post op stories truly motivate and help me stay hopeful. Though I don't have a surgery date (have to wait for all my paperwork to be submitted to insurance after my last PCP appt. next month) If approved I think I will be getting my surgery late Nov. sometime in Dec.

The pre op process is so stressful. Time is not in my favor simply because my insurance will cover the surgery 100% (since I've met my deductibles for the yr) flipside? I would have to be approved before Dec. 31 because new enrollment period starts Jan 1. I have a huge "to do" list, however, I am the type of person that when faced with a challenge I plan and give 110% so that the end results is a reflection of my efforts. With that said I will do everything within my possibilities to comply with everything that is asked of me. Just hoping and most importantly praying that after all my paperwork is submitted mid Nov. my insurance reviews and approves my surgery. I cannot wait to share with you my pre op and one day my post op progress.

With love,

Vanessa! ❥
