Hello Everyone,

I am seriously considering having this surgery and have just started the process of contacting my insurance company for coverage, requirments, and approval. I have been lurking on the site for a few days as a visitor and have gained so much info in that short amount of time!! I can't wait until the day I can post my surgery date!!

I am looking forward to getting to know everyone on the site and sharing stories.

You're doing better then I did. I spent months reading this website without posting anything. I also am going through the prelims and thought I shouldn't post yet, but decided since I AM going through the process that I can at least discuss that. I took my psych test today and find out in a couple of days if I need to see the psychologist again or am good to go and can see the surgeon. I have 2 insurances, and I've talked to the insurance person, who didn't mention any waiting time, but I haven't been "approved". Both insurances DO cover this, so except for a possible 6 month diet I should be OK. I'm anxious to find out my next step
