tsxo821 3 Posted January 8, 2013 After a long process, and being denied from my insurance company, I thought it would never happen for me. After thinking about it for a month I decided to do an appeal. on Christmas when I went to get the mail at my place after spending the break with my family, I came home to the best letter. They approved the surgery. Yay!!!! I had everything all done that when I called the first of this month, my doctors office scheduled me for the 16th. Omg it's next week. I'm really nervous and I don't know many people who have had the surgery. I'm afraid I will forget the things I've learned. Nervous but def excited! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At 1st I had buyers remorse, but when the weight started falling of. Now I'm happy as can be. I can't eat bread n breaded meats like shaken bake chicken, pork chops, etc. U will be fine & figure out what you can and can't eat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jilllorraine 62 Posted January 9, 2013 Congrats!! I too was scared and was 2nd guessing my decision. I waited and waited and followed all insurance instructions. I felt like after 6-7 months of preparing myself I still wasn't ready the day surgery came! But it was all nerves. I am so happy and everything has gone so well for me! No regrets! Good luck! 1 joni522 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to bed thinking is this something I should follow through with. When I come on here and read all the postings and success stories I get excited again. I can't believe it's next week. Looking forward to the weight loss and my sleep apnea to improve or maybe even go away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khuff 12 Posted January 11, 2013 Congrats! My surgery was Dec 18 th. It is crazy how we all lose at different paces. I have lost 40 pounds last time I checked. It is hard not to compare and question yourself. I was so nervous, but I really didn't think the surgery or recovery was bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
