I have a suggestion, please.

Would it be possible for everyone who posts that states " I'm

approved " or " I'm scheduled " or " I got approved " , you get the

picture. If these people who are excited and I don't blame them, I

would be too, but if they could tell everyone who approved them, like

what insurance company and for what surgery, something that would

benefit others who are still in this battle. I think it would really

be helpful. I read these posts all the time and I never find out who

the insurance company was.Its just a suggestion, I hope no one gets

offended. Thanks for listening.

By the way, congrats to all that are approved. I'm excited for you.

thanks jean yes i am very lucky with my insurance i was so afraid i wouldn't be

approved then if i was it wouldn't cover. my surgery date is dec 31. i wish it

was tomorrow. the wait is making me a wreck. at work and at home. ive had my

date since 0ct 24th. im glad it was set for the 31 so i can start the new year

off with a bang this year since most overweight people go on a diet on the

first. except i want have to diet anymore and that is what i am really looking

forward to not thinking about food and worring about getting even bigger.

thanks for letting me ramble. belinda
