 |  Just a little vent I am having a very stressful day here. I am not one for waiting and this six month thing here is driving me crazy.. I cant sleep, I cant focus, I am worried about what to buy and what to wait for. And the biggest one is that I still have these damn two pounds to lose and next Friday is my first visit with the Surgeon. And I need to be approved by the ins company yet and that is the biggest one that is driving me crazy.. I am sure you girls know what I am talking about. If this keeps up much longer I am going to need xanex. Sheesh... Sorry just needed to vent was having a really bad panic attack not long ago. And its been years since I had one of those. Say a little prayer for me please. OR kick my butt back into shape ok...

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.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Well, we all know how you feel on some level. I'm sorry you're having to wait so long. I remember how all consuming waiting for that approval can be and mine wasn't that long ago! At least you get to meet your surgeon friday - that's definitely a step in the right direction!!!! Good luck!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | I am sending you a hug - I know the fear that crops up before you get approved then the fear before you have surgery and I experience fear the weight loss will stop! I took all this stuff 5 minutes at a time as I know I can do that. You will be in my thoughts as you see the surgeon Judy
