I am getting banded on January 5th, 2008!!!!!! I have waited so long to say that!!! (well not as long as some but long enough)

I was "pencilled in" but now I am on the schedule per my doc!!!!!!

Pre-op with surgeon on wednesday!!!

How exciting. And what a wonderful way to start the New Year! Congrats.

Congrats! We share the same surgery date!

Oh good we can compare recovery notes. Have you met with the surgeon yet?

yes I met him and he was very informative! I purposely delayed my surgery date because of work. It seems so far away but then i count the days and I get super excited! I hope today with the surgeon went well!

It was weird. I could over hear them talking and they didn't have all my info and then I heard them say I had a borderline bmi for insurance approval. Once the dr came into the room I was more calm. Apparently they just didnt have all the pieces of my chart. It also helped that the surgeon is very handsome and I had to hold back the giggles. But overall it went well and this morning I got a call from CDPHP (my insurance company) that I have been approved for surgery!!!!!! Two days!!! I feel semi-guilty b/c of others who wait forever for insurance approval!
