    Default Final Insurance Approval - Surgery in 20 days

    Just saying my initial hello. I've been lurking here for a while as I've goon through the insurance approval process. Yesterday I got word I have final approval. YES! I was glad to find this forum. Folks are so positive. I can see where that has helped folks. My wife and I are both having the surgery. She had her's 2 weeks ago. I'm 3 weeks out. So we'll be bariatric buddies.

    Congrats on having a partner to walk the journey with you. Be patient and positive with each other. Don't nag or be judgmental. Because no matter if you are walking the same journey remember that one of you may have longer legs so you are not walking the same path.
