I am so excited. It took about a week for insurance to give me approval this Tuesday!!!! I am now meeting Dr. Mekura on 3/31 and apparently two to three weeks later I can have surgery.....I'm finally going to get my life back. has anyone had surgery by Dr. mekura? Does he really make you do 2 weeks on liquids?

Sleepless and excited Erin

hiya, i'm from buffalo ny and I'm going to be trying to get my approval starting this week ....

My family doctor said she doesn't see a reason for it to be deneid. ( i'm 5'3" and weigh 310. BMI of 55).

Just curious but what are your stats that you got approved so fast for the surgery?

I"m hoping mine goes fast as well. As my health is headed downhigh slowly (periods are getting very odd, every two weeks and my blood pressure is going up and I'm very depressed over the fact that I'm so heavy ) any infor is greatly appreciated! thanks
