Too good to be true?

[ready4it 8]

I received my date today-surgery is scheduled for 1/10/13. Am I excited? Well yes as a matter of fact I am. But this is the 3rd date I've been given, so I'm more scared that I'm going to get another, "I'm sorry but..." from my dr.s office. I've already heard "I'm sorry but you weren't approved" once, (at my pre-op appointment no less) and then, "I'm sorry but we need to change your date". That was the call I got last week once I finally got approved. Now I have a new date, 3rd time's a charm? I want a ticker at the bottom of my page-to do the happy dance-to be so excited-but I'm scared it's too good to be true, and it won't happen for me.

5 weeks-yikes...that's a long time to wait for the other shoe to drop. I guess I'll relax when I'm in the hospital bed right?

hi there, i can only imagine what a hard time you have been going through with you pending WLS - frustrating to hear one thing then a change, then.............hopefully this time will do it

all the waiting, and "annoyances" will be worth it - you'll find that out

having the sleeve has changed my life - my health and happiness

after 20 years, no more diabetes meds/insulin - no more blood pressure meds, no more CPAP

you'll gradually see the many benefits of WLS - hopefully this time will do it, i think 3rd time is a charm!!!!! How about saying "a charmed life?"

Here's to a brand new happy new year - starting DOS 1/10/13 - first day of the rest of your life

good luck

Has your insurance approved you yet?

yes-that's what i was told this time. although i'm going to ask for a copy of the approval. the 2nd change was due to the dr.s schedule, not insurance. hoping all is good now!
