I'm pretty excited! After finding out about a month ago that my insurance excluded WLS from my plan, I've been investigating self-pay options. I hated to go through a finance plan, but ultimately it is what DH and I decided to do. Anyway, I have all that worked out and today, I spoke with my physician's office and have a surgery date: 2/28! I am going Wednesday for all the pre-op stuff and then I am all set. I cannot believe this is really happening!

Sheryl, that is great news, before you know it you will be banded. I, along with many of us on the forums, was also self-pay. Despite the expense involved, not once have I regretted my decision.

Congrats on your surgery day!! Good luck..you will do awesone!!:smile2:
