Congratulations! I'm so happy for u!

I didn't get the call until almost 6 pm. It'll happen it kust seems like it takes forever!

Yea I'm going to pickup some soon my sis in law had the surgery inmarch so I'm kinda going by her time line. I go see the dr on the 16th and she said I'll start the diet then 2 wks later the surgery. So I'm lookimg at the first of November

Not sure about the foods either I'm watching ur posts and responses too! As far as Vitamins I already started the sublingual B12, flintstone vitamins(they can't be gummies), and chewable cal+d.

Hi everyone! I'm 5'4" and at 250. My gw is 150. haven't been there since right after high school. I live in Arkansas and started thinking about the sleeve in July. Went to wls seminar august 19. I did psych eval and nut first, then ins approval. I was approved after 2 wks and 3 days! Now I go Dr on oct 16. Hopefully I'll get a surgery date for the first week in nov! I'm so excited, I can't believe its this close. Good luck to everyone on their journey!

I had to tell the ppl I work with. I'm a LPN so it'll effect my work. So far everyone has been encouraging. Of course I've never been one who cares about other ppl's opinions. But like I said everyone from my bosses to other staff is excited with me.

I feel u I was told the same and it took from 9-9 until 9-26 for a reaponse

Yay! Go u! Excited for u! Congratulations!

Idk. Right now not sure. But I got ins approval so the journey begins!

I guess I did all mine backwards. Went to seminar then psych eval and nutritionalist. Go dr on the 16. I have been reading everyone elses post and it seems the did everything before ins approval. I still have pre-op tests to do but already got ins approval? !

I've done paych eval and nutritional counseling so far. Ins approved 9-26. Appt with dr on 10-16 for date and pre-op tests. Need egd and labs. Then I'm ready to go!

Congrats! Keep ur spirits high and look forward to the new u!

Woo hoo. Appt on 10-16-13 to meet with dr and set up pro-op tests and surgery date! I can't believe its almost here. Yay so excited!

You'll do fine. I was scared too. Its all worth it!

Some were "do u believe in aliens?" "Do u hear voices and do they tell u to do bad things?" Just questions from every point. One question could be about ur job and the next about aliens. It changed subject from question to question pretty much. Everuthing from th above questions to are u happy

Congrats! I just got the call from dr office. 1st appt with dr jones on 10-16-13. Then hopefully a date!

Psych eval was ok. Mine made sure I understood the changes I would have to make and have made so far. I used a dr they recommended. I had to answer a 137 question test. Just answer honestly. Some of the questions were really out there! Now I'm waiting on the call for first dr appt and scheduling. Best of luck to u!
