Hey everyone! I have been a part of these forums for awhile now, but haven’t posted yet. I was getting a little discouraged waiting for my approval from insurance and waiting to get my surgery date. So I was using these posts to get me through! I’m so thankful for everyone who told their stories and asked their questions! I finally got my surgery date yesterday!!!! Whoo whoo!! July 2nd it is!! I’m so excited! Also shocked to know that i don’t have a pre op diet however I will be doing my own version of one for 2 weeks! I can’t wait for this new life! Anyways, thanks for listening!! Any great advice for what to expect would be great! ?

Congrats on getting your approval and surgery date! I am scheduled for July 17th.

Ash Ash12 I also am walking the Second Hospital path. I am getting very close,to a surgery date assignment this time. Had an almost 1 hour conversation with Jessica my case manager/facilitator. I do know in all probability I will have Dr Bradley Needleman as my surgeon, but I did tell her if his partner Dr Sabrena Noria has a sooner open date she is equally acceptable. I must give them a 30 day unbroken 4 hour or longer compliance on my C-Pap machine so that might slow me down into July. I'll do it, I'll do anything to speed, to expedite the proceedings. I want to,leave you with a thought of value.

What happened is the past & I can't change yesterday.

I accept I am perfectly okay the way I am; this is acceptable and I have the power to change my tomorrows.

Have a day full of sunshine☀

It sucked having to start over some where else, but I believe everything happens for a reason and there was a reason the first hospital wasn’t for me! I wish you all the best in getting your date!!

I hope this doesn't happen often, I'll never be able to change my profile pic LOL

No AlFxRNY we are surgery sisters for we are thinking the same way, like the Phoenix we are rising from the ashes of the past into a new glorious future. With you into infinity!?
