Time is dragging along. . . .

So. . .I went for my pre-op registration on Wednesday.  Did the blood work and the EKG.  Everything looks good and ready for surgery.  I got a call from my 'assigned' nurse at the insurance company.  She just wanted to go over the procedure and ask if I had any questions or concerns prior to surgery.  And to make sure I understood all that would be happening before during and after surgery.  She was very patient and informative. . I think we were on the phone together for about an hour.  I thought that was really nice.  She's supposed to be my designated nurse throughout the process and afterwards to ensure success.  Super great!  I asked about the excess skin and possible surgery afterwards.  She said the insurance would cover that too!!  WOW!!  However, it does have to be medically necessary.  Which she thinks it will be.  She mentioned that 9 times out of 10 if they approve the bariatric surgery, they almost always approve the tummy tuck.  I didn't ask about the breast augmentation.  I figured I'd just cross that bridge when I get to it.  The main part is to get to the surgery and get on the road to success!!

Side Note. . . I LOVE this forum!!  I love having the opportunity to tell all that i'm thinking and having it available for me to come back and hear other opinions and experiences.  It's great.  What I've found is that once people have had their surgery and they are living life in their smaller healthier bodies, they tend to drop off from the forum.  I hope I don't fall into that category.  I want to continue to learn from others and be able to share my experiences for those who have yet to go through it.

Wednesday, May 7th, 2014 can't get here soon enough!!
