Default well it is scheduled

hi there everyone, they called me today and scheduled the operation for the 17th of next month. I am so excited it is very hard to contain myself. It really has been a couple of years working on getting the insurance and all the doctors on board but, it has finally happend. I have alot of neviousness but I thinkeverything is going to be ok. I keep waiting for the phone to ring and the insurance so, " oh, sorry we made a mistake". I hope I am not here to answer the phone. LOL I would like to thank everyone for passing on all thier knowledge to me and look forward to giving you an update after the operation. LEE

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
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.

Congrats.. and don't expect the insurance company to call. But I think we all feel that way. When the insurance company told me I was approved I could have kissed the lady on the phone!! Keep us up to date.
Will you have to follow any kind of diet prior to your surgery?

Default Great News!!!!!!

That is awesome jonnyb'swife. We all know the nervousness and things that go along with the pre-op gitters. Won't be long now though and you will be on the losing side of things. It is an amazing thing when you start to see the weight coming off. If you need friends to ease your gitters, don't be afraid to post before hand. WE ARE ALL HERE FOR YOU. GOOD LUCK.
mike
