Claudean 0 Posted August 25, 2009 I got a call this morning to say I had been approved. She got everything together yesterday and sent it off to Medicare this morning and within a couple of hours I had been approved.. I am so excited. Now I have to wait till 10/23 to see the surgeon because he is booked till then and 3 weeks for the surgery. Please hurry up Oct and come on, I am so ready for this.

LollyMoe 1 Posted August 25, 2009 Oh, that is wonderful news! The time will pass faster than you think. In the meantime, buy all the liquids that you are allowed, re-read everything you have already learned, and get ready for the new journey of your life. I am 67 yrs old, live in Alabama and because I had Medicare, I was required to stay overnight, so be prepared. Make sure you get up to walk as soon as you can at the hospital and then at home. It really helps with the gas. Good luck and keep us informed. You're going to love your band...maybe not right away...but soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
