That is awesome! I have a million questions! Can you message me on Facebook? I'm under Beth Sanders Young.

When did you have surgery? I'm 9 days out.

8 days post-op and 13.1 lbs. lost. Would love to hear from sleevers in the BR and Hammond area.

That is fantastic!!! So motivating!! Great job!

Surgery date: 10/28/13 Surgery weight: 235.5 Current weight: 223.1 (1 week post op) Total lost to date: 12.1 lbs Goal weight: 135 Off all pre-surgery meds!!!!

October 28th with Dr. Hausmann in Baton Rouge, LA!

I called Aetna the day before I found out I was approved. The rep advised that I ask my Dr's nurse representative to call and speak with the nurse reviewing my pre-cert. Within 3 hrs I received the call back from her that I was approved! You may want to do the same. I had been waiting 28 days.

I was just approved today. Surgery on the 28th with Dr. Hausmann in BR. I live in Zachary, but lived in Tangipahoa parish most of my life until 2 years ago. I'm so excited, but a little nervous, too.

The worst diet to me is ANY diet! The BEST products have to be PLEXUS. I started using the slim (pink drink) and accelerator on Aug. 10 in anticipation of my surgery. I have never felt deprived and actually was able to stop taking my insulin after two weeks (products were originally designed to regulate blood sugar.) I still take the Metformin, but only need 2 a day rather than 4. I added the probio5 at about one month and the inches really started dropping. I no longer have intense sugar cravings and my nighttime appetite is nearly gone. There is also a protein supplement that I will be using right before and after the surgery. These products are so awesome that people started asking me if I had already had surgery, and when I said I hadn't yet, wanted to know how to get the products, I signed on immediately as an ambassador to get the wholesale price, but now I'm making enough to cover my monthly supply, plus some. :-). I will definitely continue to use Plexus after surgery and will be adding the XFactor vitamin supplement, as well.

Different companies must require different things. I did not have to submit a 2 yr history, and was approved today. Took 28 days from submission to approval (including weekends.)

Me, too! October 28th!! Just got the good news!

I just got word that I was APPROVED!!! Surgery on Oct. 28th!!!! :-))))

I didn't have any medical history in that length of time. I was previously married and divorced. Had no insurance for many years, so I didn't go to the doctor. :-/ Remarried a year ago and had to wait for a year to elapse before I was eligible under my husband's plan. Wasn't told anything about the 2 year BMI.
