I wish it was ! I wouldn't be sitting here's waiting for my insurance to go through !!!

I have bcbs too !!!! I am not sure which one. Hmmmmm. I figured they would just accept it right away with an answer of yes.

What insurance do you have?

My coordinator is doing the appeal. I think they had to fix a date on something.

I love her!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know every NUT is different. I was under the impression no popsicles or broth for pre..only post. This made me kind of relieved!

I have BCBS ...WAItING for approval now! I live in NY though??

Thanks!!!! I was doing good! Quit for two months in January. For like 3 weeks in a row I was smoking two a day and stopped again. I am afraid I am cutting in close. Part of me wants to ask my gen prac to do a blood test. Where you a hevery smoker??

Just wondering about the nicotine test? Did your doctor say anything about the blood test. I took a urine test. However, I know it stays longer in the blood. I am extremely nervous!

Not sure if I am so great lol...I e-mailed you. See if it went sent first haha

I saw a person post a schedule. E-mail me at misscbarclay@aol.com I took a screen shot of it.

I am going to see me nut tomorrow. I am going to some type of group meeting. It will be my first one. When do you find out about ur pre-op diet>?

I am hoping for a may 3rd date!!! I am jealous of u ! Congrats

Welcome Jenn! I am a teacher too! I could have had this done already. I am waiting for after the state tests. What insurance do you have? They mine through last week so I am waiting to hear back! Good luck with everything!

There is another girl in this forum who is also going May 17 ! Maybe will be than too! lol

No...I have to call this week for a date. I think they give the expected date to the insurance company. I am calling Tuesday. I will ask lol

I ordered two of each! I am hopefully getting the sleeve in May. I am trying to mack a stockpile of various drinks and such. Any other suggestions. Some of this stuff is pricey!!

Which one is on sale?? I have been trying to buy different ones?!

Those must be one of the best words!!!

Nice to meet you Erin!! I am hoping for a May date. I am so happy I found a board that is more specific. I kept seeing People who were Post op and I was so jealous. I give you props for not telling people!! I had to tell my friends of course and a few other people I told at work (which I regret). I was supposed to have been operated on. However, it was so hard to get a psyc eval!! I really don't mind though. I could go sooner. However, I am a teacher and the state tests are at the end of April. That is great you are working on your binge eating...we are similar! The whole grazing repeatedly sounds more like me. Also something to think about post op.... Have you looked at shakes, bars, vitamins?? I think fears are normal!! I just actually switched from getting a band to getting sleeved...so I am def nervous and fearful of the whole experience. Talk to you soon!!!!!! I want one of those tracker things!

I just joined this group! Since July 2012 I have been taking all the steps in order to get a lapband. After asking my doctor's office if I can change from a band to a sleeve and being told that it would have to be ABSOLUTELY medically necessary I decided to get a sleeve. It was a huge deal deciding on the band and even a bigger one deciding on the sleeve. Hoping to get a date for May. Any people in the same situation I am. I feel like joining this group is making it official. lol I always look at boards, However, I never actually pictured myself writing on one.

Glad you got approved. Good luckk!

I have been reading all stories just like that. I really wish I would have thought about this before. I wasted all that time researching the band!
