I got my stamp of approval today with my insurance! I was in my kinder classroom when I got the news. I jumped for joy first to thank My Lord and then I did the happy dance and of course the kids danced with me. After a sec or two one asked .. who's birthday is it and the reply was " it must be her birthday I think adults have them everyday! Well it's not my birthday it's my new day! So excited that it's my turn to Celebrate to my new beginning! Now waiting to find out surgery date. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Well i have been given a surgery date.. won't he do it. Whoop whoop and now the big question.. when they called about surgery date did they discuss financing because I had to poke at them to tell me how much this was gonna cost. Doctor and hospital is separate I knew that but they still need to discuss and get more information from the insurance about the cost. I think I'm more nervous about the cost than the actual surgery.. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What was the turn around time to get your approval from your insurance Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Week 5 of my sister being sleeved and she looks amazing! I'm her cheerleader and soon she will be mine. So when asked by a colleague of mine am I doing this for me or to compete with my sister I wanted to just drop to the floor. It seems like people are so ready to say things and discourage you! We both are at the same school and it's awesome that we are embarking on this journey around the same time. Please pray that I get some tough skin to handle comments. I'm not looking back and I will do this for me and my HEALTH! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
