Default I'm excited...I have the Dr. Appt
Okay guys...I have the doctors appointment on Friday where I get my surgery date. I am pretty excited. I am not sure what it means when they said they "go over my evaluation". The evaluation was the NUT and Psych eval. Which, I have to say I found more than stressful and came home utterly exhausted.

I am so ready to roll. I was ready yesterday. I have no idea when the surgery date will be. I hear from 3-4 weeks. My husband has to sign up for extra duty tomorrow and he will be taking FMLA leave to be with me during the surgery and when I am home (which my husband totally rocks). So, it is kinda hard for him to sign up not knowing what the surgery date is.

Anyone have any ideas on what to expect at the dr.s office? I would even go down to the Dr. office and wait in the car for a couple of days...hehe.

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.
