I am on my way as of today.....met with my surgeon, set up all my appointments, spoke with my PCP (he is wonderful!!) about diet history/letter....so by May 27th all the tests, etc. will be done and all the paperwork can be submitted to my insurance. I am so excited I could pee my pants! My surgeon says I will be able to have the sugery this summer....I am hoping early summer.

I want to thank everyone on is board as I have been "lurking" for some time and I feel so blessed to have found all of you....I have learned so very much!

I can't wait to be an official "bandster"....

Good for you Margo. I was so excited I drove myself to the hospital, but not home, LOL. I had to be there at 5:30. I'm thrilled for you, congratulations and best of luck on your new journey.

Hey, Met with Dr. Deol today, great lady, answered all my questions, told me I was lucky to have Messa insurance, easy approval and all! I have about seven appointments to make asap! Tomorrow I will be on the phone a lot, then the next few weeks will be appointment city! In between that, I will work, go to camp for five days with my school kids, and get through all this @#$%@ appointments! Gotta keep sight of the goal!
