Hello all,

New to the boards and hoping to learn a bit more about this process from those of you who have already had the surgery.  There is only so much a surgeon can tell you right?

I go back and forth between being excited and anxious, today my anxiety is going nuts.

Any advice anyone care to offer up, also, did any of you use Medicare for your surgery?

Hey, welcome!  Sorry, didn't use Medicare.  I have Horizon BCBS.  But I can tell you this is the best thing I have ever done for myself! 

My best advice is to research, research, research the procedure.  The more information you have, the more prepared you will be for the procedure and your lifestyle change.

Best of luck and welcome to the site...it's awesome!
