I was calling every day.....so glad that I didn't have to change my date. Congratulations on the weight loss with the pre-op, especially after the cruise! I got lucky that I only had to do one day before surgery of liquid diet. So no weight loss here but I am sooooo ready. Looking forward to hearing from you after your sleeve!

Finally got my approval TODAY...surgery is TOMORROW. Talk about under the gun! Started my liquid diet for the day, waiting to hear from the hospital what time to be there tomorrow. Excited, nervous (a little) just want to get it over with. Good luck to all the other 11'ers as well as those still waiting. And congratulations to all the other October sleevers who have already started down the path! Glad to share the experience with you!

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing.

The cruise was wonderful. Carnival is a great cruise line, super weather, good food, lots of time with my family. Awesome! Glad yours was great! All set for surgery? I JUST NOW got my approval....surgery is tomorrow...talk about down to the wire. Started my first protein drink and waiting to hear from the hospital what time to be in tomorrow.

God bless!!

Scheduled for the 11th of October just waiting to hear back with approval from the insurance company. Trying not to think about anything too much!

I think all your emotions are very normal! Good luck and God bless!!

Good luck and God bless!

Scheduled for the 11th. Just waiting for the approval from my insurance!

So everything got sent in for approval now the waiting game. We will see if the 12th of October will truly be the date. Leaving for our family cruise in 10 days so that is the first thing I am looking forward to and then it is on to the sleeve! Just got a new pair of GOOD sneakers today and so I am going to start wakling.

Hi, I am Sue. I am 46 years old, two teenage daughters 16 & 14 and hubby I have a date of October 12th but waiting for approval from insurance. Will be having surgery with Dr. Noyan in New Jersey. I am a transcriptionist by trade and a SAHM by heart (but not pocket book) and I work from home. I sit at my computer for literally 10 hours a day, so I have become extremely out of shape besides the weight I need to lose so I plan to start walking slowly but surely. I am 277 and hope to lose 110 pounds.

We are going to Bahamas and Grand Turk. Carnival out of Bayonne New Jersey. This will be my daughter's first cruise (16 and 14 years old) so we wanted to be sure we didnt' something that would have fun stuff for them to do (as with my weight I am definitely not as active as I used to be) so we thought this was a great opportunity. My husband and I love cruising, you can't beat the price, that is for sure! Have fun!

Getting to the point of not wanting to go place and do things....275 pounds. I am tired all the time, in pain all the time, dread going out because I am tired. Scared of doing things because of my weight. Also having that problem with difficulty wiping myself (so horribly embarrassing). I just can't take it anymore! Scheduled for surgery 10/12/12 haven't gotten my approval yet but only have my presurgery appointment left.

I am scheduled for October 12th. My insurance hasn't been approved yet, but all my appointments are completed (except for pre-surgery and last nutrition). I am going on vacation (a cruise - yikes) in the middle of September so had to push surgery out to October. Nice to meet you all.
