Congratulations Dawn! You are on your way...

Dawn.. That is the best news. I'm happy you got your date. I've decided not to wish you luck, because you don't need it... You have this in the bag and I know you are going to breeze through the pre-op diet and surgery. Keep us all posted.

Congrats!!!!!!!! :teeth_smile:

I am new to all of this and trying to get everything paid thru my Blue Shield HMO. Can you give me some pointers how to get it approved. I qualify as far as my weight goes but have no health problems (YET).

Hi! I am new to this site as a member, but I have been reading for awhile. I have been approved and have a surgery date of 11/21/2008 at 7:30 a.m. It has been a long process for me. Two years ago, I started the weightloss part of the process, but quit after three months. I started over this year in April and will have surgery on the 21st. Right now, I have seen a pulmonologist, have appts. with a cardiologist, hematologist and vascular surgeon, before surgery. Wish me luck and any encouragement would be much appreciated. My whole family knows and my husband says he will have to eat in the garage before long. Any pearls of wisdom for me?

what happened at the hematologist?
