| Whipper Snapper  |  This is really going to happen for me!! Hi, everyone! I've been away for awhile ... combination of hectic life and discouragement over being denied 3 times ... thinking this would never happen for me. But ... finally it's a GO and I go for my pre-op tests tomorrow and surgery is scheduled for a week from Tuesday!  I'm so excited and trying hard not to be nervous. It took forever to get to this point but when things broke loose it just happened all at once. I was just approved and scheduled last week .. it caught me by such surprise that now I don't feel like I'm really ready and I find myself thinking, "Whoa there, Nelly! Let me get used to the idea first!" I've been reading about all these other people who have to wait for months to get scheduled .. I only got 10 days! My head is still spinning. Now I'm scrambling to figure out what I need for when I come home, what I can eat, etc. The only thing I've done so far is try out a couple of protein powder stuff and, yuck!  Can't keep THAT down on a good day!! Oh dear! |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Height: | Oh Wow Treasured. I am so excited to have you back on with us and that you have such amazing news to share with us off the bat. We have missed you and look forward to hearing all about your recovery and as you meet goals. Best of luck in finding a protein shake that you like. For me the only two I have been able to choke down so far are the premade Slim Fast low sugar and the EAS Advant Edge shakes that I doctor with frozen fruit. Good luck. Janae |
