I'm finally back on track for my surgery. Had some minor hiccups with the breakdown in communication between the provider and my insurance company about my surgical benefits, but it's all ironed out now. Had my first surgical consultation today along with the nutritional consult. So now I've got 1 month down & 5 to go!! So excited. Just wanted to share as it's been so long since I've been on the forum Looking forward to sharing my experience and continuing to learn from all those who have already been so wonderful in sharing their stories with me.

Good luck, I hope you progress swiftly and successfully. Now is the time to do as much research as you can about the surgeries. Look at how you're going to make changes, life style changes. That's the only way to succeed.

Good luck again.

Those communication breakdowns seem to be all too common -- and this probably won't be the last of them! Have patience, though. Your time will be here before you know it.

Good luck on this exciting journey!
