CynthiaMcC 0 Posted December 28, 2007 Hi -- I am Cynthia in St. Louis. I've been considering surgery for a year and have finally completedly all of the pre-work for insurance. My insurance changes 1/1/08 so I should know about coverage and have a date in a few weeks. It finally seems real and is exciting, but also scary ... looking forward to this adventure.

ThinDolphin3 3 Posted December 28, 2007 I know what you mean about it being an adventure and scared at the same time. I just finally made my decision to have the band instead of the RYN. I wanted to wait til I did as much research as possible before even calling a doctor. Good luck on getting approval and surgery date!! blessings:ranger: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
