I see my LB Doc for the first time on 8/26/11 so I am not sure whether I will be a candidate for this surgery or not, I am certainly hoping so. I am excited about the prospect but am worried that I won't qualify or that insurance will deny the procedure if I do qualify. Is this a common thought process with those who have had this done? I am not scared of having the procedure... I am more scared that I won't be able to get the procedure. I am 40 and have so many things I'd like yet to do, but this body is restrictive and depressing.... Thoughts?
