This is brilliant! I save the best for last as well, but not anymore! Thank you for this thread.

I'm doing really well. I feel great but I do want something to chew. Blended soups are ok, but I can't wait to get to soft foods. How long are you on liquids for?

Good luck to everyone in their surgeries today!

Tomorrow for me too. Good luck to you!

The 20th for me as well. I'm on the 4th day of clear liquids and I'm so hungry I could eat my own arm. I just keep telling myself "almost there, almost there".

Thanks! I sent mine in.

Oh I just worry I wont lose enough with it. Total worrywart! lol I have about 130-140 lbs to lose.

That's my day too! I'm excited but also scared. And of all things, I'm still worrying that I should do RNY instead of the sleeve.

For about half of that you could be a self pay, couldn't you? Something seems very wrong with that.

I made an account here just to reply to this topic. I have the same insurance. I have hated/appreciated this 6 months but now I am in stress mode. Here is the situation: I have one more call from my wellness coach on the 31st. I have talked to my case nurse twice since I started this, both times she was next to impossible to get on the phone and was rude and condescending when I did get to talk to her. I saw my dietician for my last appointment about a week ago and the surgeon's office told me they were going to go ahead and submit for approval. I asked if they needed to wait for my last call and was told no, as long as I am enrolled it's ok. My case nurse says it will be denied and that I should'nt expect surgery before September. The surgeon is saying August. It already feels like its been forever waiting. I know a couple more weeks won't matter in the scheme of things, but that doesn't change my stress level. I just want the sweet words "you're approved" in my ears. Oh, and a surgery date in August. Anyone have their surgeon submit for approval before your wellness coaching calls were done? Even if it is only a couple of weeks?
