Hi All,

I started this process back in October. My fiancé and family have been super supportive! I have amazing insurance which covers surgery at 100% but requires a whole bunch of pre op testing including 4 weeks of consecutive nutritional meetings which I start on 1/26. I hoping for a March 2017 surgery date! I am so ready for this! What are some things you found challenging during your process? I'm feeling hopeful that things will go smoothly from here on out!

Welcome and congrats!

Honestly I didn't have any problems at all. Everything went very smoothly with very little effort on my part. My job was to follow my diet and lose before surgery. I know some had a more difficult time with insurance and all. I have United Healthcare and they took 7 days to approve me. They also paid 100% because I had already met my out of pocket expenses for the year, but if I would have waited until Jan 1st I would have paid $6000! Sooo thankful it worked out.
