Thanks!!! congrats on your date as well!! It'll be hur before you know it, please keep us posted.

Hopefully the wait will go by fast keep your fingers crossed.. My info is supposed to be sent this week so hopefully ill know something really soon !!! Praying for great news for both of us!!

Congrats to you all that have been approved!!!

Congrats to you!!! Welcome again

Congrats to you time will go by fast so prepare!!! How long is your per-op diet?

Congrats!! I know it is going to be a long 3 wks. Ugh I wish it were tomorrow. Lol my husband was like babe were you dreaming about surgery or are you obsessed? And I was like yes and we both lol! He took me shopping earlier and I got a pedicure. One last one as a FATTY!

Congrats!!! I can't wait to get my approval I only have lab work and my surgeon visit left but praying to get approved this week!!

Well congrats on getting your dates. I've already met with the dietian, completed the EGD, the psych eval and still haven't got approved by the insurance yet, but told I should know something this week.. So keeping my fingers crossed

Thanks!! Ill just keep taking it day by day...

Today was my quit day as well.. I have gradually lowered to a couple of cigs a day yhen finally none today. Have found that my car trigers it as I have a long comute to work and I would smoke on the way

Same here, I haven't smoked in three days but took a few inhales from a cigar, just puff puff, but my struggle will be my drive to work which smoke.. But I'm really motivated and know I can kick the habit. So does anyone know how long does it take for nicotine to leave the blood stream ?

I had approval in 24 hours. You could easily have surgery in less than 3 months. :-)

Well keeping my fingers cross would love to be scheduled in Nov-Dec since the only thing I left to do is my surgeon consult, and pay the balance on my program fee...

Please when you all find the answer let me know.. I have also wondered the same thing, I have heard different stories..

Thanks!! Do you know when you get to have surgery?

No not yet just finished my history and physical, insurance cord. Said she was working on packet to send out to the insurance company by Tuesday and hopefully ill have an answer by Friday!! Praying that is true and ill obtain a date sometime before 2013. How long was ur wait for the approval?

Anyone under 180lbs and getting sleeves?

I have recently started to feel a bit guilty about getting sleeved for being overweight but not obese.

I have other medical issues that have helped me make the decison to get sleeved' date=' but I am curious

to see if there is anyone else in the same boat.[/quote']

I'm really close to not been approved due to my bmi been exactly 35 just crossing my fingers
