I just got my approval letter from the Insurance company today, and I am soooo excited.

Has anyone else had Dr. Schram? I know there was one person talking about him, but I can't find her anymore...

Can anyone tell me what is going to happen now? Like, what else needs to be done after Insurance Approval, and does Dr. Schram do any fills right away, what is he going to want me to do after the surgery as far as food, etc.... As you can see, I am full of questions, but am so very, very happy that I AM APPROVED!!! What a feeling, I am scared and happy and thrilled and scared!!!

Please, if you have any info, please share it with a nearly 48 year old, that is ready for a life of NORMAL!!:tt1:

I don't know Dr. Schramm but wanted to congratulate you for your approval! :rolleyes2: Hopefully it won't be long now.

Hello! I did answer this in the Forty Group. Please go there and read it. Thanks:wink2:

My surgeon is Dr. Schram! I adore him. He's quite literally the best of the best. I was banded 1/4 and don't get my first fill until 2/18. Grrrr. I want it sooner than that. I'm going to try to get in earlier so I'm gonna call them tomorrow.

PM me if you have any further questions about Schram or the facility (Forest Health Barix Clinic). I went to the Ypsi location...are you going there or to his facility in Holland?

I am going to go to Ypsilanti, actually leaving tomorrow night after work and staying at a hotel near the hospital (1 mile away, I think) because I have to be there at 6 am on Tuesday. My insurance company insists on an overnight stay, so I will be home sometime Wednesday. I am all packed and ready to go as I won't be home again until after the surgery!!! WHOOO HOOO! I am sooo ready!! This day has dragged unmercifully..hopefully tomorrow will be better (if I can concentrate on work!!)

JoyAddison: Congratulations on your surgery tomorrow! I'm sure you'll be too excited to sleep tonight! Be sure to post when you feel up to it and let us know how it's going....

Hoping & waiting for a March surgery date....

It is now 3 days after my surgery, and I am feeling a lot better!! It is hard to get any food in me, I just don't want it, and forcing it makes me a little nauseous. But I am very very happy the surgery is over and I can start losing weight!!
