Hi Guys,
Just joined and looking forward to next steps. I've been contemplating and researching Bariatric surgery for years. Finally "pulled the trigger" and thought I'd have to wait for a drawn out approval process. It was approximately five weeks from initial consult with surgeon to the pre-op appointment when I set my surgery date. Full insurance approval happened within two weeks.
I'm feeling really blessed and nervous. Excited is a better description. I'm 43 yrs old and have ALWAYS been a big guy. Looking forward to turning the page to a better, healthier, longer life!
