Well hopefully that will be all and u get cleared. My insurance typically took a week to get back to me.

I been seeing a lot of people go to Mexico. How much does it cost there?

How much have u lost

Congratulations McKinney! !!!

I just got the call today and am scheduled for January 7th! I have to be there at 11:00am! The bad thing is Ill b on a 2wk diet and I can't drink on new years. But its worth it!!!! 7 weeks to go. And yea its 100% free.

27 mother of four! And I just got the call. Surgery is Jan 7th!!!!

I just got the call. I'm getting sleeved Jan 7th! So excited! I have my pre admission testing on December 3. Will have to get pick line day before surgery cuz I'm a bad stick. :-( very nervous.

Have u lost any weight yet?

I just got the call. Its scheduled for January 7th!!! Yea grandview kind of creeps me out. As bad as green memorial in Xenia!!! LOL. But it turned out good for u. My insurance covered mine. I'm happy its in January so it won't effect Xmas.

I had my gallbladder removed 5 years ago. Couldnt say that. So when I go I'm just gonna b like I'm sick of getting sick so I'm gonna be on a serious health kick.

And yea it was long but. Less than a year of work and now I get the surgery completely free to me. I could never afford this on my own.

Well first because they said I had no Co morbids. So my doctor had to write basically why I needed it. Example ... if she doesn't have this she is at risk for diebeties, HBO, cholesterol, ect.) And my insurance coordinator wrote that my insurance covers it with no comorbids as long as my bmi is over 40. Then I got another denial saying I needed my regular pyscologist to give me a clearance even though I already got a clearance from the psychologist THEY wanted me to see. Then I got denied saying I needed a Pulmonary clearance. That took a little more time cuz I had to use a cpap for two weeks cuz they saw I had sleep apnea(minor case) then finally was approved.

How long is the liquid diet before surgery? I have been approved but not scheduled. They should be calling me any day. All I know is it will be in Dec.

Congrats Shauna and good luck! Art I'm in Dayton too! Having it done at Miami valley hospital by Dr siddiqui.

Hell yea! Here is a big f you to every guy that said "you would be real pretty if u just lost some weight " . Douches.

Thank you! And you too! R u already scheduled?

To be honest I'm just embarrassed. I don't want to b the fat girl who had to have surgery to lose weight. Since I've been a teenager I've been called fat even when I was just slightly chubby. So I'm not gonna be labeled again and get even more back lash. When I have surgery ill tell people I had my appendix taken out and that's y I was hospitalized.

Well in order for my insurance to pay I had to do a nine month supervised diet. Then I got a few denials for little stuff.

None of my friends even know I'm doing this. And I never plan on telling anyone. Only my brother and husband knows. Its none of their business.

My insurance coordinator said the same thing. That they are trying to find any excuse not to approve me. I finally got approved. It was an 11 month process but I've heard people going through it for 3 years before being approved. So don't give up!

Don't feel bad. I got mine approved with no Co morbids. And my insurance says u need 2. Also. I started Dec last year and have been denied 3 times and finally got approved last week. Just keep doing what they ask.

LOL!!!!"

Just got approved Friday! Just waiting to be scheduled!

Lucky you! It was an 11 month process for me. But once it was all done and it was turned into my insurance it took only 8 days to get my approval.
