"Jewels of June"
My date was changed from the 13th to the 20th also!! :/ but it's not that far away! Who is your surgeon? [quote name=LissaD' timestamp='1306463911' post='155869] Hi my fellow Jewels! My surgery was changed from June13 to June 20th... I was a little disappointed, but got over it really quick! This gives me an extra week to get my mind right and now I can have BBQ with my family for Memorial day instead of starting my preop diet! I am just so glad I am still a Jewel! Melissa

Out of Pocket Poof!
I'm June 13th also and I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 in the morning!! I'm excited and nervous but I think that this is a blessing and it's more dangerous being overweight and getting all the diseases that go along with being overweight then the risk of a complication!!

Aww I know... I see my pcp Monday so hopefully she'll help me out!! I'm going to try to talk with someone at Dr. Barker's office too!! Praying hard for some good news!!!- Bcbs tx
Hello all I haven't posted any questions on here but I have been reading for several months!! My paper work was submitted to my insurance, and I find out that they didn't approve it because I have to have 12 months of attempted weight loss but the dr who was going to do the vsg said bcbs only requires 3 months. So now I'm sad I was hoping to be scheduling my surgery. I've had an active membership at curves for 14 months and a 6 month doctor supervised diet so is there not anyway for my 14 months of working out to be my proof of attempted weight loss? Or do I have to do another 6 months of dieting and waiting? Any advice would help!!- Endoscope
Where did you do yours at I did mine today I live in Dallas also - Bcbs tx
