I am approved for surgery????????????????

[Dknal2 1,066]

I just found out yesterday that Cigna approved me for surgery. It took 5 days to get an approval. I think I am still in shock that this has now come to be a reality and no longer just research. I had already prepared myself to be denied due to my BMI was 39 when I started but I lost 14 lbs during my 3 month dietician visits. Plus, my co morbidity was sleep apnea and I have SVT, which I didn't think they would consider as one of the major co mornidities. I am so excited ???? and scared. I find out my official date this week but they are pushing for first week in Dec. My surgeon will be Dr Clayton Frenzel in Arlington, Tx.. he also has an office in Dallas as well. I can not wait to embark on the new journey of becoming a healthier me ..I welcome any advice, comments, encouragement ..I need it all. I have been researching this surgery for 4 years and now it's becoming my truth. I think I'm ready.
