So I finished up my last nutrition class on the 13th. It’s been 6 looong months I’m just glad I got through it all. All of my paperwork was sent over to insurance for approval last Friday the 16th and I was approved and was given a surgery date the following Thursday which was the 22nd. I’m so surprised at how fast the approval process went. I was told it could take up to 30 days and I definitely thought insurance would take their sweet time sending in their decision. My date of surgery is April 17th! SOOOO happy/excited/nervous! I’ve joined a few support groups and hearing so many negative things is really messing with me now. I just hope I’m making the right decision.

I can totally relate, my Surgery date is for the 7th of April, it’s been a long journey and now that it’s finally here I’m scared..

Congrats. It does seem to fly by once everything is approved by the insurance company. I wish you the best of luck.

Congratulations! I totally understand how you're feeling. I was doing the same thing the other day and started double guessing myself. But I reached out to some friends who are doing good with it and let the negative stuff wash away. I think it's truly how you approach it and the support you have and refuse to let negative Nancy's scare me. I'm gonna go in positive and make the best of it all! I'm scheduled for April 16th. So we'll be in the same time frame. Good luck doll! Stay positive!

My approval was quick too! Took them 2 hours after submitting my paperwork. It was crazy! My surgery is 4/23! I hope you have a quick recovery!!

Ctzbella I am waiting on my approval as well. I hope it will go as quick as yours did! I also am asking myself is this the right decision for me!!

You know it is deep in your[emoji173] Don't invite Doubting Thomas, Nervous Nellie and Negative Nancy to your party, they are all Party Poopers anyway. Invite Forward Frances, Committed Caroline, Slim Sam, Smoothie Suzie and most of all, Victory Valerie there. They are are all a nicer group of individuals, not a back-stabber among them. Keep the faith, you have almost made it to the home stretch! Love and hugs Hon!!!

Your making the right choice!!!! That’s so great u got a date in April!! I got approved 2 weeks ago and begged dr for date in April unfortunately I have to wait until May 14th!! But than again I’m happy to enjoy a little more time with my entire stomach but I’m exactly like u joined groups than got nervous but u will appreciate it when it’s over!!!!

And we will also have a neat Group of people in May. I think there are already May forum threads out there, just got to find them and put yourself in. I have friends in the January-February-March ones and a lot in the April, you'll find as time goes by you will still follow their progresses as long as they are active on here. There is one from January that is still dear to my [emoji173] when I first joined BP she said something very kind to me and i never forgot. She doesn't post as often anymore but when she does I'm very happy. You'll probably find your own . Among the guys I especially like Mattymatt and Rainbow Warrior but many other guys are also good. There aren't as many men but their viewpoint is spot on so many times. James M, I forget how his last name is spelled, he is a veteran who has seen a lot, knows a lot and is meticulous in his research. Any fact he quotes is the truth. There are many who are very humorous,they pick me up when this old cowgirl gets the blues! There are a few newbies that think I'm the greatest thing since sliced bread, I love helping them all. And if i actually didn't hang the moon and the stars I'm not letting them know! Have a good and peaceful day, okay?[emoji14]
