So---first post here. Just got the call that insurance approval was in--they said I should hear in a day or two about scheduling the pre-op visit and the surgery! I've been thinking about doing WLS since June 2016. Dropped off the paperwork in Feb. 2017--it has been a slow process, with a battle with h pylori that wouldn't go away. I can't believe that this might actually happen this year. Hoping I hear tomorrow and can have the surgery in early December. But I am all of a sudden anxious about the 1-2 weeks before and after the surgery.

Good luck!

Normal to be nervous. I am also. You’ve come this far, it might be hard but think of the end result.

Good luck, I myself just got my date of 12/27. I'm so excited.

So---I have my date--Next Wednesday! Having a terrible headache today--which I think is due to the no carbs, no sugar diet I'm on per surgery. Trying to get through this...I know it will all be worth it!
