Hello all, thanks for all your words of wisdom while I was a nervous wreck lol. Well I went to my pre-op meeting with the surgeon on the 27th. I went in got weighed and down to 255. Then I saw the surgeon, he was very happy with my weight loss. He said I haven't seen you in about a year, you have lost 22 lbs since then. He told me any weight loss before surgery is a plus, and reduces the risks of complications. I signed my release papers, bought my bariatric vitamins, paid my fee and out the door I went. On the way home the hospital called for their last questions. I was already pre registered, but these were nurse type questions. Previous surgeries, medications, etc. They confirmed my time Monday arrive at 10:30, surgery at 12:35. So everyone I most likely won't be posting again, until I am on the losing side. Thank you all for all your support!!! Cherri

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.
