Finally!! Just heard from insurance co. that it is approved!! This is 3rd surgeon so it has been a process. Dr. office just called & we have scheduled pre-surgery apt for 10/17 & probably scheduling surgery for 11/8 or 11/9. Will know for sure after pre-surgery apt.

I've been through the run around w/ 2nd surgeon. So glad I found this new surgeon & they seem to have everything organized and running their office like it should be.

I'm so excited!!

I was sleeved three years ago, Nov. 18. I loved it being cold, and sipping soups, broth. I will never forget our first meal, homemade chili we sipped on Christmas Day. By the time you have things under control it will be Spring, and there will be a New You!

I have had some friends act like i'm crazy to have it done before Thanksgiving but I just told them....I've obviously enjoyed overindulging for the past 45 years I am actually welcoming this Thanksgiving and enjoying just being w/ family and my new journey!!

You will be so happy you won't care about the food. The smells might get you but a protein shake will satisfy you.

I got my surgery date today-I'm having revision from LapBand to VSG on October 18th.

I'm thinking that by Thanksgiving, I'll be able to eat at least a little bit:)

Congrats!
