Hi,

I've been reading all your posts for about a month now and they have been very helpful. I decided to have GBS back in June of this year and this month my Dr will b requesting approval from my insurance.....Right now i'm very confident, and feel informed, just really anxious for my insurance approval and to get a surgery date.

This site has already been very informative
pro-op and am sure will be a great support system post-op....hope to be on the losers bench soon!

" I had GBS in the back of my mind for a couple of years now, and always thought no, that's not for me. January'09 I said i would take control of my life,health and weight; I finally went to a seminar in June and left the seminar knowing GBS was what I needed. "
