jrob04 10 Posted October 14, 2014 Hi Guys, Just joined and looking forward to next steps. I've been contemplating and researching Bariatric surgery for years. Finally "pulled the trigger" and thought I'd have to wait for a drawn out approval process. It was approximately five weeks from initial consult with surgeon to the pre-op appointment when I set my surgery date. Full insurance approval happened within two weeks. I'm feeling really blessed and nervous. Excited is a better description. I'm 43 yrs old and have ALWAYS been the big guy. Looking forward to turning the page to a better, healthier, longer life!
