:smile2:Hello, I'm about 10 days pre-op right now. Have been visiting with someone from the surgeon's office on & off since 2007 trying to get insurance coverage. Finally have means to self pay.

Saw Dr. Ken Hollis on July7, went for evalution on the 10th, and have surgery scheduled for the 24th! Funny thing is that I had scheduled to go to the seminar earlier on and it happens to be the day after my surgery.

I know it isn't as fast as gastric bypass, but it is so much better because now I have the tool to help me consistently lose. I am so thrilled. What is exciting right now is the pre-op diet results. I'm down 13.5 lbs in seven days! It's even that time of the month & I'm losing!

Welcome and congrats on getting your date scheduled! It feels awesome to get on the scale and see the pounds dropping and your health improving.

Thanks Susan!
