Hi everyone! I’m new but I’ve finished all my requirements for Cigna. Now just waiting for approval. I’m 42 years old, mother of 2 girls and 1 grandson, they are my world. I finally made decision to have this surgery. Have lots of health issues. Thyroid cancer, Hypothyroidism,Type 2 diabetes, severe sleep apnea, Are just a few, other than of course my inability to keep the weight off. I’m nervous and excited all at the same time! Anesthesia scares me as I’m allergic to one type of it. Kinda been just watching the posts and reading everyone’s experiences. Anyway super excited that I get to share this with people that understand!

Welcome to the forums and best wishes for an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery!

Thank you!

Welcome!! Glad to have you

Welcome and lots of luck!! Make sure you talk to your surgeon and anesthesiologist and nurses about the kind of drug you are allergic too!

Welcome! I had my surgery 3 weeks ago today. So far, I have lost 36 pounds! I hope you have an easy time like I did. I had very little pain, just some soreness. I am not feeling hungry- which makes things easier. Goo luck! Keep us updated.

I literally just got the phone call!!! I’ve been approved!!! Pre Op appointment is Wednesday!!

Thank you FluffyChix and NancyLF! I definitely have had the talk with the surgeon!
