I'm so excited. I found out on Friday that my insurance has approved the surgery. I go to see the doctor on April 15 and then we set the date. Now it seems very real and I'm feeling all kinds of emotions, but I know in the end that this will be a very good thing. My friends and family are firmly behind me, which helps a lot. This forum has been a great tool for me. I have learned so much. Ahhhhh...I'm so excited.

You must feel a sigh of relief knowing that you've been approved and are almost there. Keep us filled in.

Ailie, Congratulations! I know you are excited and I am excited for you. Isn't it a great feeling knowing that you are about to begin the journey to becoming healthier? All the best to you.
