I finally got the call today...my insurance approved my surgery. I've already done all the upfront stuff....food logs, counselor appointments, nutritionist, etc. After all that waiting and calling, just like that, my surgery is August 10th. I'm excited and scared at the same time. I will start my pre-op diet tomorrow, so here we go.

Re: I Have a Date!
Way to go! The waiting and wondering is the worst part of pre-op. Try to relax, this is the easiest surgery I've ever had. You'll do great!
