I'm on March 6th. Good luck. I know we'll do great.

Mine had a $1000 fee. I know, it sucks. The surgeon really should include these services with the cost of the procedure so that people like you and I don't have to pay that out of pocket. I would suspect that this is a way for the surgeon to immediately get $1000 in his pocket and the insurance can't touch it or refuse to pay part of it. Just my opinion. It still sucks.

Tried it. Insurance refused to pay. Waste of time for me.

I'm March 6th. Anyone else with that date?

Anyone use the Bariatric Protein shakes for their pre-op diet? I'm drinking my first one right now. It's not terrible but It's not great. It's really thick and sweet tasting. Quite hard to get it all down. Very filling. Dana

Here's my phone number: 555-123-1234. Just kidding. I'm about to go thru the same thing. My surgery is 3-6-14. Hang in there.

Finally found out the details of my Pre-Op Liver Diet. It will be 14 days long and consist of 5 Glucerna shakes a day and Clear liquids. Makes me think I'm going to be really hungry. I start on 2-20-14. Who else had a Liver Diet like this one and how was it? Thanks, Dana

Very pretty.

I'm on the 6th. Can't wait to get cut on. lol

Sorry Hon, but when you look like you do, you're gonna get attention. Enjoy it.

Anyone with the same date as me? (3-6-14) Dana

When I was thin, I was a lion tamer!!! lol You look great.

It took exactly one week. The problem is that it can take them up to 10 business days after that to get the approval letter to your doctor. I called BCBS to check on my approval and found out that I was approved and had them to fax the approval to my doctor right then. Otherwise; it could have taken another two weeks.

Got my date yesterday. It's March 6th. Anyone else with that date?

dana i've led a sheltered life what the heck is eye candy?? good luck March 16th see you in 6 months (before too I'm sure ) speedy recovery kathy Eye Candy is a person that is pleasing to the eye, such as a good looking man or woman. Hope that helps.

My surgery is scheduled for March 6, 2014. Who else has this date? Dana

I had the choice between 2-20 and 3-6, but 2-20 was just a little too soon. Congratulations to you!

I finally received my surgery date. It's March 6th, 2014. WooHoo. I just wanted to let all of the world know that I will be providing eye candy, free of charge, in approximately 6 months. LOL. Dana

I received insurance approval on January 16th and I still don't have a date. I'm going crazy too. It took the insurance company a week to fax the approval to my surgeon. Now the scheduler was out sick and the office was closed due to snow. I'm really hoping I'll receive my date early this week. Ugh!!!

You look great.

Nice!

Hi Dana! Congrats on getting the approval. It'll come in the mail before you know it mister!! Hang in there and try to stay upbeat and positive. I know the anticipation is sometimes driving us guano. April Thanks April. I'm so ready to get cut on. lol

Called my insurance company today and I did get approved. I called the surgeon's office and they said that I would receive a date when they received the approval in the mail. Can't wait. I want my date so bad.

I was submitted to insurance on 1-15-14. I have BCBS of Alabama insurance. Should receive my approval soon and then I will get my surgery date. I'm pretty sure it will be in February. I'm in Chattanooga, TN. We're kinda neighbors. I will have my surgery at Memorial Hospital. My doctor is Dr. Jaime Ponce. I would love to be your buddy. Message me anytime. We can share our journeys with each other. Dana

Good job. I'm waiting on my approval. I was submitted to insurance 1-15-14. Dana
