My date is March 12th. I do not have to do a preop diet. I was told to only lose about 8 pounds before surgery since I have a lower BMI. HW 225. CW 215 GW 135. I have sleep apnea. I also have a large hiatal hernial that they will be repairing at the same time. I will be happy when that is fixed as the reflux problem is horrible! I am scared to death of failing!

I have Capital Blue Cross in PA and my doctor's office submitted everything online today and they got instant approval with a March date. For some reason my insurance runs Feb 1st to January 31st. We never had a co-pay before, but now have a $3,000 co-pay. All things considered, it is still better than self pay in Mexico! Now I am completely freaking out. Just had some surgery last week for some girlie part issues and and I am still tender at the incision site and there were only two. Plus I am still a little dizzy and nauseous. The Sleeve is a much bigger surgery so I am feeling a little scared but keep thinking about the end result and how many hoops I have been jumping through since the Fall. Only thing left required by my doctor's office which is one support group meeting on Feb. 20th. I just can't believe it!!!

I just had uterine ablation on Weds. If you are done having babies and are tired of heavy periods and cramps, I highly recommend it! I wanted to get it before the sleeve so my iorn will hopefully start to go up too.
