I pretty much just asked him, how long this will take since I dont have to fight the insurance company. He asked me when I wanted the surgery, and I said as fast as I can get it. He laughed and said, "how about we do preops next Tuesday and bring your family in." I am so very excited.

He did tell me I have to lose 10 pounds before the surgery...WHY?

I also have to have a filter? Anyone else have to have one of these???
