Welcome to a while new world! This app is amazing and people really do care. Congrats on your 24th date it's coming fast and I know I'm excited so i can only imagine you lol. I think it would be awesome to be surgery buds so we can share different experiences while on the same journey. We can help each other!

Sounds good! I am excited but pretty nervous too. I have my pre op visit with my dr and my hubby this afternoon, pretty happy about that. Have you gone through with any of the other evals or anything else?

[Curvy_Goddess 24]

Well this is my third time in 3 years doing this process so I've done everything in the book. The first time I started my 6 month diet and half way through they said it wasn't covered. The second time I had a surgery date of November 5 2012 and a week before my insurance company called and said there was an exclusion. This time my insurance company does cover it and March will be my 6th month of the supervised diet. I have to go to one last meeting explaining what to expect and pre/post diet etc. Then a $600 program fee. I've done my psych eval, upper GI barium test, EKG, and have had my PCP send in a medical necessity letter.

Wow that's a lot to go thru, lots of ups and downs bc of insurance. I had to switch mine to get coverage. I hope the process is a lot smoother for you now, I guess once it clears through insurance, you're kinda on the home stretch lol.

[Curvy_Goddess 24]

Yes that's where I seem to be. It's all worth it in the end so I can't complain.

Just approved by my insurance last week, my pre op appt is the end of this month, which we schedule surgery on that date. I figure late March/April is when they will get me in. Would like to find a buddy to chat with thru this process, because frankly I am scared lol.
