Yeah!

Just got off the phone with the surgeon's office and they had received my approval for surgery from the Insurance Co. I have Cigna and was worried. Thought I'd have a wait but the information was submitted last Thursday afternoon and we got the OK this morning.....

My date has been set up for April 14...Now for the pre-op diet. Need to start it tomorrow but it is not full liquids. I can have a low-fat small dinner so I am confident it will be tolerable.

WTG Suz! I am so happy for you! Where do you live and who is your doc? I bet you are so excited! Wonder why they have you eating like that a month out? All these docs are so different, kinda gets confusing!

Anyway, congratulations and i pray all goes well for you!

I have to have a 3 week diet. Wow can't believe it is actually 3 weeks from today....Should have started today on the diet but didn't know for sure about the approval...Will get into it Gung Ho tomorrow..I have been on a low carb for my 6 month diet and lost about 26 lbs....Off to a great start...

I live in central NC and am having the surgery at NC Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem NC. My doctor is Dr Al Fernandez...I really love him and his staff....

Now I need to figure out how to do a ticker...I have mainly been lurking here and decided to wait to attatch it until I was sure my insurance approved me....Yeaaaaaa!!!!

Congratulations on getting your date. I also got the approval for the surgery today, I have been waiting so long for the approval now I am having second thoughts. Has anyone felt the same way when they waited so long. I was so into getting the surgery now they kind of put a damper on things????
