Hey all,

I'm sooooooooooooooooooo thrilled!!

Last year 10/07, I started the whole process of getting the approvals from the doctors (cardio, lung, psych)..2/12/07 I was scheduled for surgery...and RIGHT before the day, I cancelled...unbelievable!

Recently, I started rethinking everything...and decided to start once again. Luckily, I didn't need to be re-evaluated.

Today, I got the call from the cordinator. I go to pre-op class on 9/22 and Surgery is scheduled for 10/07/08!! whooooooo whooooooo!!

wish me luck and any positive feedback is morrrrrree than welcome!!

Peace out-

Congratulations!! How hard was the psych eval? Did you go on a liquid diet? Good luck !

I'm in IL too. I started this process March 08. I had GreatWest health ins and they had me go on a 6 mo eval plan, I haven't lost any weight :biggrin:. Since then I have married and now have BC/BS IL. I should find out what they require in the next month or so. pretty cool.

The psych eval was pretty easy, they ask questions like how long you've been fat, has it prevented you from advancing in your jobs, things like that.

Congrats on the marriage!

Good luck 2u........:biggrin:
