I have my surgery date finally! I'm scheduled for my Gastric Sleeve on March 8, 2012. This is 11 months from the date that I decided to start on this path. I'm excited, and yes, a little apprehensive about this, however, I am so ready. I called to verify my copay for the surgery/hospital stay, and there isn't any. $0 for this. I feel like I won the lottery!

    That is great! I am glad to hear that an insurance company is paying for the whole surgery. Wish they would do it for more people. Very excited for you.

    "...Feeling like I won the lottery..." YES SIR.... I felt the same way when I got my RNY date..... Hate to use that horrid old fashion expression.... but it will truly be " the first day of the rest of your (new) life" Good Luck.:drinker:

    i am soooo happy for you, my date is the 14th of march, I am just waiting on the insurance company to approve, and that feels like a giant weight on my shoulders. Ill be pissed if they dont approve it and make me jump thru hoops.

    Good luck to you, hope to follow you along your journey and share tips and recipes and such.

    Congrats
