I'm really starting to get anxious about it. I'm not really nervous about the appointment itself, I'm more so nervous that my insurance won't approve me. I'm so scared that my insurance is going to turn me down. I really hope to be posting that I got approved by Christmas so I can set my surgery date, that would be an awesome Christmas gift, that's all I want. So, wish me luck so I can be a January Bandster with ya'll!

Thanks Jim! No, I wouldn't be able to pay out of pocket. I might be able to do some kind of financing, but we'll see.

I had my consultation today and it went really good. I love my surgeon and his staff, everyone is really nice and helpful. I have an unofficial date, January 28th. YAYAYAYAY!!!!! It'll be official after the approval comes through, which they seem very optimistic about. I should know by the end this week. I'm so excited and anxious. This is really starting to get real now...lol. This week is going to go by so slowly that's for sure.

I'll do all of my pre-op testing the week before the surgery, I don't have to do a psych evaluation unless my insurance companies wants me to, but the insurance woman said she didn't think they'd do that. I do have to see a dietician though, I'll probably try to call tomorrow and get that set up soon. I'm just so excited right now,I want to tell everybody I know, but I'm really trying to wait until it's OFFICIAL!!!!!!!!

Congratulations anyway. It is so much better to plan when you have a date even if its not official.:clap2:
