    Cool Surgery date set!

    I'm so excited! I got the call today, my surgery is scheduled for 8/15/16 and I'm so excited! I was on a serious time crunch due to the short window I have my insurance (until the end of September) but we got it all done!

    I'm amazed at how they worked with me to get everything set so fast. From my first consultation on 7/14 I had my nutrition appointment, EGD, sleep study and now my pre-op appointment is tomorrow!

    The staff at Bod Evolve in Arlington, TX is so incredibly helpful and they made this financially possible for me in part due to needing a hiatal hernia repair so that will be covered by my insurance and I will pay the remaining fees in cash.

    I really feel like this is going to be the start of something great and now I have 5 days before my pre-op diet starts to get mentally prepared!!

    Congratulations!

    I used the wait time to practice healthy post-op behaviors. Surgery date will be here before you know it!

    Best of luck as you embark on your journey!

    I'm glad everything is going so well for you. It is just the beginning of your journey. Exciting times are coming your way!

    It took me a year due to insurance company carrier changes. I was all ready to go but couldn't get on the surgery schedule until January. The new company made me do 3 more months preparation. It all turned out ok in the end. I just had to learn to be patient.
