Hi All, I'm new to this site and forums. I started the whole process back in November 2017. May 7, 2018 is my tentative date for surgery. It has been years in thought. I actually looked into the gastric bypass back in 2013 but was in no way able to deal with it financially at the time. I have been going through everything I need to to lead up to this doing great and no issues whatsoever with insurance or anything. My doctor is pleased with everything and how I'm going about everything, He said I am a model patient and every doctor wishes every patient could be like me. I said so sounds like I will do good, He says, "Your not going to do good, You're going to do awesome with this".
