    Default Getting there!

    Hi all!

    I just want to share I had my last nutrition appt today and I'm finished with everything! Will be waiting in a call to schedule my surgery. It feels like in may take forever.

    2 weeks for approval and 4-6 weeks wait time! I wish it would be tomorrow. I'm ready for changes in my life.

    Thank you all for listening, your caring and support!

    It's getting close now.
    Maybe you have your surgery on the same ate as mine: the 3rd of January.
    Very good date for sleeves... lol.

    Get occupied now.
    With the holidays coming you will have plenty of distractions.
    Hang in there!
    English is not my first language anymore, so I may and do make mistakes in my spelling, or say things oddly. Please ask me, if you want any clarifications.

    My approval was pretty quick. When I got the call they asked when I wanted to schedule my surgery. I said as soon as possible what do you have?? I was given the option of doing it either 7 days later or 9 days later. I chose 9 only because I had to let my work know. They knew I was having surgery but did not know what for. I told them for a hernia repair and ulcer. Both true but I just forgot to mention the sleeve. Hang in there. You will be getting sleeved before you know it.

    I'm hoping it will be a quick approval. I plan to call the insurance company after 1 week. Unfortunately they said they're scheduling 4-6 weeks out, but I will get there. I'm having a hiatal hernia repair as well. I would love if I could do it now, but probably late January. I'm ready! I've bought all my proteins and vitamins. Just waiting on that call.
