Hello

Hi, my name is Melisa and I'm scheduled for Nov. 20th. I start my pre-op diet on Nov. 10th and it could not come soon enough. I started the process in June of this year, and after 2 denials I finally sent the information in myself and got approved within 2 weeks. Go figure. I'm so beyond ready for this, I pretty much started thinking about it 2 years ago, but never voiced it. Then earlier this year I sent off for info, but didn't open it until May. I'm a weirdo. By the time I made the decision, I was fully good to go. I'm not scared at all, I'm very anxious though, I feel like my life is on hold and I'm through feeling that way.

So that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Hi Melisa, and welcome to LBT. It sounds like the timing is right for you and you are in the right frame of mind for having the surgery. I think you will do very well. Best of luck, we look forward to getting to know you better.

Hi. I am scheduled for surgery on 11/21. I am probably older than a lot of you, at 58, but it is never too late to take care of yourself. I, too, started the approval process two years ago, but stopped after a few months. I started the whole process again this year in April. My insurance required 6 months of weightloss, so here I am....ready, excited and a little scared. Come on November 21st!!!:teeth_smile:
