I AGREE!!! Anxious... Lol

Perfect!!! What does your preop diet consist of?

Me too. It hasn't hit too much yet but I know I will have s lot of mixed emotions as it comes closer! :-)

We should keep in touch an support each other!

Oh great! I would love to keep in contact w/ u and see your progress!

Hey tutu. I got approved for it! I go meet w the surgeon on Tuesday morning and I'm sure I'll get a date then. :-) :-)

Hey all, I just got the word from the dr that my insurance approved me!!!!!! Yay!!!!! I am so ecstatic!!!

I don't have a date quite yet. U have an appt to talk with the surgeon on Tuesday at 10:30. I'm sure I will get the date then. I am figuring it will probably be early December. Congratulations! I know you are exciteddddd!

Yay!! Good for you! I still didn't hear anything today :-/ hoping... I have BCBS of IL

My fingers are crossed for you as long as you cross yours for me!!! Lol. My info was submitted on Tuesday. Just patiently awaiting for an answer from the insurance company.

Good for you!!! I know you are ecstatic as you should be!!! I was denied because I needed (cardiac and) pulmonary clearance as well. My info was resubmitted to the insurance onTuesday. Now I'm patiently waiting for a yay or nay :-/

I have to agree. It seemed like the easiest part for me also!

Thanks. Appreciate it. Do you have a date yet?

Yayyyy! I am so happy for you! I am waiting also. My info was submitted yesterday. Hope to hear from the dr an approval. Pray for me :-)

Hello all. I am new to the forum but have been reviewing the posts and have found some amazing support from one another here. I am just wondering what everyone's experience with the sleeve has been like? The reason that I ask is because I have read some pretty negative experiences. I can definitely appreciate the honesty and the openness of each of your situations, but I am worried after reading some of the experiences :-/ It is scary I know there are risks with every procedure but it worries me knowing the severity. Some background from my experience, i was originally going to get the lapband and finished the dr appts, but then they told me that I could not get lapband because I was diagnosed w lupus almost 20yrs ago (have not been treated for it), so they told me I can choose from two other options, this being one. I was leaning toward this one but now I am so worried because of some of the experiences unfortunately some of you had to go through. I do go for a consultation visit w my dr on Monday before my info is submitted to insurance for approval so I do have questions I'm sure the dr can answer, but was just hoping for some insight from those of you that had the procedure. Thanks all! :-)

Hey All, So my info has been submitted to the insurance this morning. Praying and having faith that it will get approved!!! :-) please say an extra prayer for me! Need support. :smiling: Thanks All!!!!

Congrats on the approval!!! I know your ecstatic! :-)

I have BCBS of I'll. I'm hoping I hear something quick!! Lol
