Great advice and philosophy. I need to re-read when I face temptations after my VSG. Thanks for the post

Seems like the ones that have had VSG are doing great for the most part! Glad to hear that!

March 19th with Dr. Koppman in St. Augustine, FL.

15 lbs is awesome!!! Great job!

Hi Fellow March Sleevers! Just got my date today.... Mach 19th! So excited!!! Any fellow March Sleevers in Florida? Looking forward to sharing this journey with each of you.

Congrats! i just got my date too! Good luck!

Congratulations! I just got approval myself! Good luck!

I'm worried about temptations too. It sounds like you are doing great though because you know those are poor eating choices.

Great job! Congrats on hitting One-derland! Good luck with the interview too!

I'm not looking forward to the pre-op diet either. Sorry it's a struggle but it will be worth it. Just reminder yourself that you want a successful complication-free surgery. Hope the pre-op diet time flies by! Good luck!

What a great idea! It's wonderful that you have lost 110lbs! You are doing a terrific job so don't be too hard on yourself. Love yourself, you're so worth it!

Congratulations! Glad to hear you are happy and doing well! I can't wait to join you on the loser's bench!!!

Yay for you!!! It's a great feeling isn't it?!?!? I just got approval yesterday myself. We can be sleeve buddies!

Good for you and your grandchildren! Best wishes!

My doctor's office submitted all my paperwork to BCBC Alabama today around 10:30am! I called my insurance around 4:45 today to see if they received the fax. The said they received a call but not a fax from the surgeon's office today. The said they told the doc a per-certification isn't required but they will need to send in the clinic data for medical review. The insurance said they hadn't received the clinical data fax when I called. I'm going to call them again the the morning to see if it worked it's way into the computer system. I'm not sure what all the insurance jargon means but I would have thought the fax would have registered in there system. I plan on bugging the heck out of the insurance. Fingers crossed....

Can't wait to be sleeve buddies! Good luck!

APPROVED!!! In less than 48 hours!!!! I'm so elated and excited. The 6 month wait was a killer!

Yay for you! Waiting 6 months was so hard for me too.

Sorry you're going through this. It sounds horrible. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Good luck with the surgery. The pre op diet is going to very hard for me so I hope it is easy for you. Some great advice on the thread.

Wow, that is amazing! I can't wait to feel full from 5 bites too!

Best wishes! It's really awesome that Dr. Fuller is moving so quickly. Good luck and give us a surgery update.

You look amazing!!! Congratulations on your surgiversary! Keep up the good work!

Wonderful!

Congrats! You're so close.....
