Just got my surgery date! So excited!! I got a call from the nurse yesterday and she said since my BP has been dangerously high at the last couple visits & at the exercise physiologists visit, their going to try to move the surgery date to October if any spot comes open! Yaay!

Nov 1! Wow! So close, makes this real, doesn't it? How are you doing? I imagine I will be an emotional basket case when I am that close!!

I am really shaking today, my nerves. I know this is the right decision. Just scared of the pain afterwards. I hope it's controlled.

@sunshinetinks((hugs)) It's only natural hon!! You're gonna be a rock star! Just ask for plenty of pain meds. They won't send you home without that being controlled. I'm so excited for you!!! Keep your mind and hands busy today!!!

@TheNewMrsR Good luck tomorrow! You and Tinks are surgery twins!!! Can't wait to hear back from each of you. Way to kick off November! All Saints Day. It's when I had my double mast. It's a good day for surgery.

ROFLMAO about the train, the shoes, or being nekkidy! LOL!
So, don't spaz over the psych eval. It was sooooo easy peasy...mainly just a test with 400 questions. Then you sit and chat for about 30-45 minutes. He'll talk about why you want the surgery, how you think it will help. He's trying to see if you're a psychopath, have hidden personality disorders, if you are withit and right with the world...lol. If you have depression, eating disorders, alcohol or drug probs, that sort of thing, I think it would be trickier and worth a little anxiety. But otherwise, you'll do great! ((hugs)) and so excited for you!

Sorry [emoji20] I saw this maaaaa late. But I didn’t get it like you ... all I had was the chat and that’s it. [emoji848] better that way I guess, just now my new headache is .. when to call the insurance to see if it was submitted and not sound so desperate. Lol

Congrats to those having surgery tomorrow. Praying for you all. I'm one week away and my nerves are already stretched thin. But I know this is the path I need to follow. And hey, I've lost 8 1/2 lbs already on my liver shrink diet. Mine isn't all liquids. But still rough! lol@FluffyChix Happy Halloween!

OMG! This was me yesterday. I "think" they submitted some time around the 24th, and so I was searching the boards and Google to see what the usual turn around time would be--I don't want to call and red-flag me at the insurance! Knuckle biter for sure!

Congrats on 8 1/2lbs and to a skinny liver!!! You're doing great and next week will be here before you know it!!! ((hugs))

Totally in the same boat. Mine was supposed to be submitted last week. My office said to lay off and not follow-up with insurance and that they typically hear back within two weeks. I’m struggling not to call though and to make sure everything was received.

Let's sit on our hands or on each other!!! Come here and post rather than picking up the phone and DUI (dialling under the influence -- of insanity) Party!!!

It's getting real November buddies, I have the NUT and the surgeon on the 8th and a class on the 7th. Good luck to everyone that's getting surgery this week. You've all got this [emoji173]
