India928 81 Posted August 20, 2015 Surgery date is September 14th. Let me just say....my therapist is certainly earning her money with me! I am all over the place! My food addict is whispering in my ear every damn day, trying to hold on for dear life. It is trying to plant doubt, hopelessness, fear and anger 9/14/15 Lets go!

India928 81 Posted August 20, 2015 Thank you Choosehope! Honestly, I wished more people facing surgery would and/or could get a therapist for the long haul. Surgery is the start of facing the demons that got us to this desperation. goodbye to our best bud - carbs and sugars! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sweettooth2015 171 Posted August 25, 2015 Good afternoon.... So I called the insurance company it's still pending in review but the tentative date for services was 9.21 at submission of paperwork Crossing my fingers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theresa23 3 Posted August 26, 2015 My doctors group submitted to insurance a week ago, I asked them to submit before they thought I would get approved. I was told by the surgeons group, and several insurance reps that I needed to do a 6 month program, but I only did 3 and I was approved! Surgery is scheduled for 9/29. So excited!
