Spaness2012 609 Posted February 7, 2013 I have kicked around having this surgery for years.......I made the decision last March...visited my surgeon.....completed my 6 months monitoring.....got cleared by a cardiologist and psychiatrist....received approval from my insurance company.......was supposed to have surgery in September and due to unforseen costs I had to pay upfront...I had to postone the surgery after I already completed a 2 week liquid diet and lost 11 pounds. Revisited the surgeons office again in Jan...resubmitted the packagage to insurance.....saved up the upfront costs I didn't know about back in September.......completed another 2 week liquid diet...lost another 11 pounds and now tomorrow is the day! Surgery Day! Finally! I have put my heart, soul, committment, desire, dedication, emotion, and money into having this surgery tomorrow. I have read, read, read, and then read some more about the highs, the lows, the agonies the defeats.....the success stories and the stuck stories! I have earned my right to have the surgery! I am as ready as I will ever be! Bring it on! 9 can_do, buckeyegirl4, 2muchfun and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
