I had the date since I started the process. My surgeons office schedule all six months of appointments right away. February 6th it is!! I start liquid diet next Wednesday

Thanks everyone!! Man today has been emotional!

I went to my last non surgical program appointment last Wednesday and today I got the call for approval. I would say one week assuming they submitted last Wednesday

This is amazing!! Thank u so much. I have been changing my habits these past six months. I'm def going to type this out and post it up! Lol

I got the call this Morning on my way to work that I had been approved by insurance!! Date: February 6 Super happy yet I think I'm still processing it all. Planning mode just switched on and now I have a million things on my mind. Just thought I'd share since you guys are awesome at lifting spirits!!

I have UMR though united... It took exactly one week to hear back. Good luck to you that month will b here before you know it!!

I just got the call this morning that I got approved!!! Still sinking it in, not sure how to feel yet lol

Thanks!!! It feels so close yet so far. I'm trying to not think about it and just wait for the good news to come. Lol.

You're sooo pretty!!!! And u look amazing! Do u mind if I ask you how your skin is ?

I had my last appointment of my six month program (per insurance) this past Wednesday. They should have submitted to insurance. They are expecting a week or two for approval then on the 22nd I go back to review everything and start the liquid diet. Surgery is schedule for February 6th. I have been at the gym for about a week now. And have lost about 3 lbs a month during the six months. Except December, lol , I only lost one lb. coffee is the hardest to let go of!!

So has it hit you guys yet? My friend just asked if I was anxious and I'm surprisingly calm. But of course it hasn't hit me. Surgery day will be here before we know it

I went through a 6 month program per insurance. Surgeons office scheduled ALL of my appointments on the first one. Last week I realized surgery was scheduled for Feb 10 but decided to changed it to Feb 6. My last appointment is jan 8 then they r giving insurance 2 weeks for approval. Jan 22 I should start liquid diet.

I have an app on Wednesday and last app on jan 8. Hoping for February 10 surgery!! So excited! Been a long six months but it finally seems very close. I'm glad this thread was started!!

DANG GIRL!!! You look so hot! I'm also 4' 11" sw 215.Its so awesome to see someone with the same stats! Congrats! Can't wait to get to where you're at!!!

I think it all depends in the psyc you see and the program you're in. Try not to stress too much over it. I didn't realize I had my appointment with her till 3 days before. Everything is in house so when I have an app with them I see the NUT the doc and that time the psyc.

That's the one thing I started to push on today. I know they want me to do the in home test and depending on that one they will send me out or not. She said there is a list for the machine to take home so I asked her to make sure my name is on there. Don't want to sleep test to hold me back

That's great!!! I have another 4 months because of insurance but I'm being patient

Took only 20 min!!! Super easy and she told me I passed! Her only concerned is that I need someone more supportive that my husband. She explained support is not only him being ok with the surgery but also him being able to adapt to the changes I'm making. Never thought of it that way. I just found out she has a support group 2 x a month and thinks I should bring the hubby so he can understand a little better. Just thought is share

My surgeon suggested it.

OMG I thought I was the only one!!

So amazing! Congrats!

I haven't been sleeved yet but I had a c section and my gallbladder removed in the same month. I used a pillow wedge I purchased at babies r us. Helped a ton for support!!! Just lay on your favorite side and tuck that sucker in between the bed and your stomach. It wasn't very expensive and came in a neutral color. I guess its used for when pregnant bellies get too heavy but using it after two surgeries worked just as well for me

Lord knows I love my mom but he also knows I knows how nutty she could be. I wanted to be able to explain to her why I am doing this. It's not longer about looks. My body completely feels horribly sick. Although I didn't get the chance I feel that would have helped. Hoping she will let it sink in. At the end of the day I won't let anyone talk me out of it but it should would be a lot easier to have heard her say "I'm glad you are doing this"
