    Nope! I still have one more diet visit and a class. I'll be done on October 5th and it will be submitted that day. I have, however, attended support groups. I was worried about being my age and having the surgery.

    Just got my surgery date of October 5th. Now I wait to see if Cigna approves it or if there are issues.

    Been working on per-surgery requirements for both Cigna, and the DHMC program for the last year, I'm excited to actually DO IT!!
