June 7th is my surgery date, in Houston, TX @ St. Joseph's Medical Center. I am sooo beyond ready for this. Ready for a new healthier life, thank God for the insurance approval! That was the scariest part of this whole journey so far, waiting for approval!!!!!!Ok, So I just got off of the phone with my surgeons office. Pre-Op date is 5/31 and Sugery is set for June 6th.... Wow, 3 weeks away I am super excited and can't wait for my new life to start. I wish I could figure out how to put one of those weight thingys on my profile, but for some reason I can't figure it out. I asked my Docs office if I will need to be on a liquid diet before sugery and she said "No" that suprised me, She said just for the 12 hours before sugery not to eat or drink anything. So I think I am gonna go ahead and buy me some Unjury for after surgery to be prepared. Any body got any other things I can do to get ready for surgery? anything I should buy ect..Good luck, keep us postedWell, I couldn't wait for Dr, to call me with the news so I took my chances and call my insurance my self just now.... And guess what! I AM APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am now trying to get the in touch with the lady at the Dr. To find out if my surgery date is still set for June 6th. I am so excited I could do cart wheels.... LolI meant my tentative appt. for sleeve is 6/6/2013My surgeons office submitted everything toy insurance for approval last Tuesday 5/7, insurance said they would let us know in 7 - 10 business day if I am approved. They put me down to have my surgery on June 7th. I am dying to get approval from insurance , the stress an anxiety of the wait is driving me insane. I feel like my life is at a standstill because I don't want to participate in any kind of social functions until after my surgery. I have been reading this site for a while and this is the 1st time to post.
