thillman1987 43 Posted July 5, 2019 Don't let the setbacks cause you to give up on surgery. I've had numerous setbacks myself and it's been about 15 months since I started this journey...and finally i'm scheduled for July 22nd. I was starting to give up after insurance denied me but somehow I kept going and barring anything happening, i'll be post wls in less than 3 weeks. My surgeon's office required that I call my insurance company and ask a series of questions regarding my coverage and any requirements before I even met with the surgeon the first time...and we still messed up lol. Everything happens for a reason and I truly believe that my setbacks were allowing me more time to prepare myself for surgery.Rescheduled for September 17th. 🤞 I second guessed myself for a little bit but the surgery is important and life changing. I wish you luck and thanks for the support! I just needed to sit back and remember what the main goal is.

My pain is well managed and I've had zero regrets. My dr just dropped in to give me discharge info, and my nurse said I should expect to be free to go by lunch. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you for checking in with me. That's so awesome...I pray that your recovery continues to go smoothly 2 KarenLR75 and alex76 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are such a sweetheart for putting this together and tracking all of it!! LOL, can't put me back into the schedule yet as I've been given 2 possible dates and I won't know for sure until next week (either 7/22 or 7/25). 1 ARMoma45 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
