    May 2nd is soooo close! Just had my pre admission testing done. Now just counting down the days. Clear liquids day before. Treating myself to a pedicure and getting my nails done French (I have acrylic nails need to be clear color) maybe even get a facial! How's everyone doing? Anyone else having surgery on the 2nd? Am I the first loser of the May group?

    @@CariC I found my medical policy on their website. It gives you all the requirements. But for me it was bmi 35-39 proof of medically supervised diets and nutritionist and psychological appointments. My surgical team had them on staff which made it easier. Oh and surgeon has to be part of a center of excellence
