New here, waiting on a surgery date.

Hi Brooke,

Thanks for the encouragement! The Director of Surgery approved me yesterday! She said I need to gain a few pounds though because the weight I am at the surgeon's office is the weight sent to my insurance company and despite my pain from plantar faciitis and other issues, because I don't have sleep apnea, high blood pressure or diabetes, I won't get approved with a BMI under 40. First time I have ever been told to gain weight - lol. Hope to meet with the doc who will perform procedure within 2-4 weeks. Didn't think it would take that long but I have waited this long so far!

Hang in there!!

Chrystine

Thank you Chrystine! Fingers crossed you're able to get approved by insurance!
Thank you walking_one. Same for me. I can lose it. It just comes back and then some.

Thanks sherry1118 . These past days are letting in so many thoughts. I know several people who have had this surgery. Some kept it off and others stopped following the rules.

So bottom line, follow the system for success.

Still scary to think what if..., or for how long .. But I will try my best. And prayers that all if you can maintain the rules.
