Here We Go!

Just got all my pre ops, sleep study and EKG done. Was told they will submit to my insurance this Monday and should hear back from insurance by Friday, 8/10. Planning Surgery mid September.

Sent a message to my boss to expect a two week time off request for bariatric surgery today in September.

Need to tell the folks this weekend, they they are visiting. Little apprehensive, even though I am an adult man. I don't need their understanding and approval, but it would help. Hoping for a good outcome. My wife is more excited as it approaches. Love her support.

Thanks for your support!

Spent some time with some of my guy friends this afternoon and was able to share my wls plans with them. Not all of them knew before. Went well! Have not found a good time to share with my parents. Maybe tomorrow. Plan to stay postive no matter what.

To health!

Awesome news Chad! What is it about parents that we struggle with telling them decisions we make. Interesting that their approval does mater - even as adults - (not saying you wouldn't move forward). I find this to be soooooo true in my life and quite frankly does hold me back with various stuff.

Anyway- so great to hear! Hopefully your week will go by fast - I go in next Monday and that will be the day that they send my stuff in to insurance. I am hoping for a sept 10 date. Lots of positive thoughts to you

It is great to hear you are well on your way to having surgery next month. I hope everyone you talk to about it is supportive. It's good that the most important person, your wife, is. Keep us posted on your journey.
