Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Hello Everyone, Well my origonal date was tomorrow , bu tmy insurance company think's i need to be sick along with being overweight to qualify for the surgery, So i found out after my pre op they said no. Well i cried alot and decided that that will do no good. So i sat down and documented all the stuff sice May 2nd the day i got my referral. So i now have till Oct 6th to appeal it and still get the surgery under this referral. So i am going to the dr tomorrow to look at my whole medical record and talk to her about my families history and hopefully get it done. I will let you all know what i find out Patty S ===== Have a great day! Patty Schroeder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 I to was scared before my surgery.. The date i got my date i went home, and cried because i couldnt believe that i let myself get to be 312 lbs.. I just felt awful, but once i got my crying out, i focused on nothing but positive things.. Make sure you keep a positive attitude about the whole thing. I really think that is a factor in a surgery turning out great... I went in with confidence in the surgeon, and i came out feeling great.. just think positive thoughts. amy 6-23-04 lap 312/ 274 as of mid august sherri edling wrote: Alana and ...first off Best of Luck to the both of you!!!...and yes, you dates will be here before you know it!
