grammy1 0 Posted July 9, 2008 Hello I am new to this forum. I have an appointment on July 16th to meet with the surgeon. I am excited and scared both. I desperately need this surgery. I have a BMI of 42. I so want to be around to watch my grand babies grow up. I need encouragement and advice on this whole process. Glad to be here!!! :smile: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladiblade2 0 Posted July 9, 2008 Hi Grammy1! welcome from another newbie....I just posted right before you did. I too am excited but nervous about the whole process. I am pre-op and waiting on insurance approval, which I hear can be sometimes very trying and difficult. I guess I just need to stay positive and looking forward to gaining my health back! Hope to see you around the boards! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lindata 1 Posted July 9, 2008 Hi Grammie. Where are you from in Arkansas? I'm from the Little Rock area and used Dr. Gibbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grammy1 0 Posted July 9, 2008 I am from the Searcy area, and we have a Dr Gibbs here in Searcy that will be doing my surgery. I have not gotten a date set yet, but hopefully it will be soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
