Got My Date

I’m super excited that I got my surgery date today! Saw my surgeon last week on Wednesday the 18th, at that time he submitted my paperwork to the insurance company for approval. I was anxious all weekend and expected to hear something by Tuesday, so when I got up and made some phone calls this morning. My first call was to the insurance company and was delighted to find out that they had approved me and had already sent the approval over to my doc. So, immediately I got back on the phone and called over to the Drs office and they set me up with a date for November 7th. It just seems so surreal!!

Awwwww...you guys in this forum are the absolute best! Thanks for checking up on me. [emoji18] The holidays went well, i was still at my moms recuperating when all the family came over. I’m feeling much better now and I have my support garments to thank for that lol. How was your holiday? Did you get any Black Friday shopping done?

Of course we're going to check on you! My holiday was boring, didn't do any shopping, very quiet. And I've been looking at the support garments on amazon. Guess I should order one before I ever get a date, lol. Glad you are doing well and that the holiday went smoothly [emoji4]

Yeah, I was just on Amazon yesterday with my GF who also had WLS back in July. The prices seem reasonable I’m going to go back on today!
