Woot! Surgery date~

It looks like everything is going through.  The coordinator has submitted my file to insurance and she's just waiting on final okays.  We sent the potential surgery date at Dec. 18 ~!  Which is great, because I have a lot going on in November and early December with family and church choir. Christmas at my house is generally pretty subdued--I don't make a big dinner, just sandwiches, salads, and small desserts. My DD20 is in culinary school, so she will be pressed into service for Christmastide. One great thing about taking time off then is I get 3 extra days off--Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, plus New Years Day. My little bit of sick leave will stretch farther~Yay!

We are doing the Happy Dance for you!  

Congratulations.  Here are some links to information you may find helpful:

We can't wait to hear from you post-op!

Y'all pray it gets approved. I just got notice that as of Jan 1 my insurance will no longer pay for WLS of any kind.
