I'm coming to the ALL STARS mama! yay!!

I can't wait!! Hey DREAMS, how are you doing since you are 6 days post op?

My fellow sleevers, I felt soo much better after reading all your posts. I thought I was the only one stalking my Dr.'s patient coordinator and Insurance company. I thought I was the only one that started each sentence and ended each text/email with "and when I'm skinnnnaaaaay" and I thought I was the only one with a husband, friends and coworkers that were ready to jump out the window because the sleeve is ALL I talk about!!! This is wonderful! I'm not a psychopath :willy_nilly:

:dance: Just found out from our insurance that my daughter and I are approved for surgery!!! We got our date set today too!! August 22!!! I feel like I've been waiting forever!!! Soo happy that I can hardly contain myself!! Hope to be a success story very soon!!!:rockon:

HI! Can you tell me how much you will be paying out of pocket with Dr. Alvarez and also, how long did it take for you to get a date set with Dr. Alvarez? What did you have to do in order to get your surgury date? Thanks so much for any info you can provide on how surgery with Dr. Alvarez works

Yeah, that ticker is wishful thinking on my part. Thats the date that my surgeon gave me but if we don't get approval in the next two weeks, I'm sure we'll have to push that date into July or later my surgeon only comes to the hospital in my network like 2 times a month.

Well, my pre-auth has to go to my husband fund managers (even though we have BC PPO of CA) and I called them again today and they finally said they have received it and they will be forwarding to a panel of doctors that they use to see if they believe the surgery is a medical necessity . It was sitting on someones desk for 3 weeks. My daughter and I are trying to have the surgery done on the 26th but somehow I don't think it's gonna happen and we are going to be postponed once again. I'm so ready to have this big change in my life and it seems to be taking a lot longer than I thought

I totally agree with you!! I've been waiting 2 weeks and I've called every week and nothing so frustrating... I know exactly what you are going through. Good luck and wish me some too.
