Default Surgery Date!!!

I can't believe it! I had my last DSWL yesterday and my PCP faxed my info to the surgeon's office after my vist. The insurance person at Dr. Freeman's office sent my medical records to the insurance yesterday as well. Well about 1 pm today, I got a call and I was APPROVED!!!!! I can't believe how fast that was.


Anyways, I have my surgery date! July 17th, 2009! July 9th, I have my pre-op stuff done. But the 10th I have to have the dreaded EGD!! I am nervous about that, but I dont think there will be any issues there...I have not had heartburn in months.

I am ready......glad its here. I will keep everyone posted on the up coming event! Everyone please keep me in your prayers.......

CONGRATS! That is so exciting! I am meeting with my surgeon for the first time on july 6th. I will find out if he wants me to lose weight before surgery or not. That scares me because I want it so bad I am tired of living like this. I don't want to wait any longer!
