Positive news
Today I met with the nutritionist and the psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic for surgery. They were the final two people I needed to say I am ready and a good candidate for surgery.
Well, I'm thrilled to let you know that they BOTH GAVE ME THE GREEN LIGHT!!! I am now ready to have my information submitted to insurance for approval. YAY!!!! It probably will take 2-4 weeks for insurance to review my information. Then hopefully they will approve my surgery and I can get a date!! I'm so excited. It's such a long and sometimes daunting process. I'm just really so glad to have the approval from the medical team. One hurdle down.... Lots more to go :)

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
Hi! My surgery is through Cleveland Clinic too! Dr. Brethaur is my surgeon. I'm telling you - the insurance approval process was super quick! It took them 4 days to approve and then 2 days later I got my surgery date - July 1st. I'm so excited to get this done:) I hope this moves fast for you too!!!!! Good luck:)
