Congratulations, i called every day as well was sent in Monday before last and got approved seven days later.

Congrats, and so happy to say I was approved as well! It took 6 days for approval. I have pre-op testing chest x ray, abdominal ultrasound and ekg on the 23rd and egd on 28th. Looking at early september....yay!

I have to lose 10lbs as well before surgery and don't have a pre-op diet.....I'm thinking straight liquids until surgery, when I get my surgery which should be fairly soon. All the best to you all. [ATTACH]4128[/ATTACH]

Wow, I'm sure hoping this is not after I'm sleeved, wishful thinking huh! All the best to you all.

Radiant Danielle, congrats on the NSV and all the others to come!

Now that's what's up, congrats to you! Hopefully I'm next. All the best to you all.

That's bananas, I would have had to tell them to report back to the nearest training facility....do not pass go, until they were more familiar with their duties.

Oh wow how awesome the big 100 lb loss! YIPPEEE! Congrats can't wait to be there, I just have to keep telling myself, in due time. I have a channel on YT my name is SONGBIRDX4. Keep up the great work.

Thanks so much Lissa for the helpful info. You always have great advice, yeah I see you on other posts lol. You are so sweet and helpful, you should do YT vids I think they'd be great.

Thank you I will def'ly look into that. All the best on your surgery!

You are smokin hott and the hair just puts the icing on the cake!

....my surgeon doesn't require a pre op diet......just throwing that in .

I am having my last required appointment on July 31 then will submit to insurance. I have Cigna and surgeons office coordinator says she's confident I'll be approved given my bmi and co-morb's. Surgeon requires at least a 10lb loss before surgery, or he'll cancel, however I have a personal goal of losing 30-40 lbs before hand, really want to be under 300 lbs before surgery. I don't have a surgery date but based on what the surgeon said "you schedule your appointment as far out as you think it'll take for you to lose the 10lbs", I'm saying surgery will take place around mid to late August. What pre-op diets for you guys have resulted in significant weightloss? Let me say I absolutely can't drink the milky substances, they make me gag something aweful. Is it unreasonable or impossible for me to think I'll be able to sustain on a liquid diet for 3 or 4 weeks? Please give me some advice.

Yippee so yappy for you!

Thanks so much for the links ladies I will be following you guys on your journey.

I love the YT community I am songbirdx4. I could not find you Tracy or gastric sleeve4me. I wish you all the best in your journeys

Oh hunny this sounds like a "ramah word" halle-loo-yer lol. I truly hope this is the case for me thanks so much and all the best to you as well!

What insurance do you have? Cigna only requires 3 months now. Good luck through it all.

I have cigna too and its only acceptable in conjunction with monthly supervised visits with a doctor other than your surgeon. So like someone above mentioned it was cheaper to just do the doctors visits. I think I saw you say six months worth of visits......cigna only requires 3 months now. Isn't that awesome! All the best on your journey!

Yay so happy for you, hopefully I'm next!
