Hoping to have a August date.. Just waiting on the re-approval from insurance.. Fingers and toes crossed.. I am tired of waitingCongrats wishing you luckSo happy for you.. I'm still waiting on my call.. best of luck to youWelcome.. Hope all goes well for you!Welcome.. Hope all goes well for you!Welcome.. I think you have came to the right place. I haven't had my surgery yet but hopefully in August. But I do know that since joining this forum I have learned a lot and completely solidified my decision on the sleeve. Don't be afraid to ask question, vent or whatever because everyone on here is super supportive and will help in anyway possible. I also am a little worried about my body afterwards.. but then i think of the health benefits im going to gain.. and i know its worth it.. Best of luck to you!Welcome.. Hope all goes wellCongrats and good luck!Welcome.. Hope all goes fast and good with your journeyHope today and the rest of the diet goes well for you.. Have a happy 4thAt the very beginning of the forum there is a thread that was started a long time ago and a lot of people that have had the surgery hue posted in it as to what you will and won't need for post op.. You should check it out.. Best of luck to youI feel ya.. I have been waiting on the drs office to change the insurance code so we can finish up appointments and I can get a surgery sat for the past two weeks.. Hope all goes well for you and you hear something soon!I have told a few co workers, friends and family. I had a mixed bag of responses. I got the few that were supportive.. The few that put a smile on their faces and said "well I guess it's your decision" Then I had a quite a few that had negative feedback and comments like your taking the easy way out, you need to try harder with diet and exercise, you need to stop giving up.. And my all time favorite I knew you were fat enough to need to exercise but I didn't think you were fat enough to have that surgery. Fr the ones that asked questions I answered them, perhaps to plant that seed and maybe change their lives for the better. And for the ones that gave negativity I say screw them I don't need them in my life anyway. Some are co-workers so I have to deal with them but I will no longer talk to them about anything other than work.Congrats!!It's just that this process is draining anyway.. then add other people's attitudes and insurance issues on it.. it's a wonder we aren't in the crazy house by the end of it..Sorry you are having issues.. hope all goes well and you have a quick and painless recovery..I am sooo deflated with this whole thing.. I am sooo over it.. the doctor's office has such a non-shalont attitude about things. I have called and emailed a million times trying to figure out if they changed the code with insurance… I just got of the phone with insurance and a whole new claim has to be submitted by the doctor.. and I got a nasty email from the insurance lady at the doctor’s office earlier saying that she is busy and she can’t submit my stuff this week because she is covering vacations and she has more important things to do that pertain to some patients that have potential life threatening issues not a procedure that is elective.. :’( My vent.... I am a planner.. I have two small kids, a full time career, I volunteer a lot, and I have things and other obligations that I need to move around when it comes to surgery. I want this more than anything.. and it is driving me crazy not being able to plan things down to a T.. I have to have some sort of plan.. I won't have to worry about loosing my hair 3-4 months post-op.. I am going to pull it all out now.. :'(Waiting on insurance to approve sleeve( the approve the lap band not sleeve because wrong paper work got submitted) then waiting on EDG, then waiting on my surgery date.. I'm so tired of waiting.. I started all this in January.. I am a planner so all this not knowing is killing me..Congrats on the date.. Hope all goes well for you!Welcome.. Hope all goes well for you!Hope all goes well for you and you get an approval letter soon!
