I recieved my insurance approval today!

It only took BCBSNJ four days to approve my application! My surgery date is confirmed for Sept 16th. What a relief! After reading so many delay horror stories I was in dread of being turned down. Now I just have to worry about my pre-surgical testing. I made my appointment a whole month in advance (the maximum) of my surgery in case there was a problem. I have also read of last minute delays because of EKG problems. I also made an appointment with my cardiologist just in case I there is a problem and I need his OK.

My doctor only recommended that I cut down on my food intake and chew my food thoroughly so I have only lost 16 lbs so far. I may ask him about a liquid diet in September to lose a little more. I have enough sample shakes to live on for a year!

I'm so happy that I can't sleep!
