I just got my surgery date for October 31. I have enjoyed reading the posts here, however my surgery will be in Clinton, IL and thankfully, my insurance is paying for it. I will be on a 2 week liquid diet before the surgery, so I have a week to eat everything my heart desires. My fills will also be covered by the insurance, but I have not heard of anyone paying for them here, the first year must be included in the fee.
