Hi all!
I WAS APPROVED BY INSURANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First submission, and it was approved a week later. I called every day! Now just waiting for the hospital scheduler to call and set up my surgery date, and get my pre-op labs taken care of! SO EXCITED TO BE SLEEVED IN 2013!
I'm still not sure of I'm a Nov or Dec sleeve date, but 90% sure Dec. I'm so excited. I've been considering WLS seriously for 8 years! I've tried all I could on my own, and I'm done struggling. It's time to live a new life. Glad to be here, and would love to be added to the Facebook group: lissavsg@gmail.com.

The squeaky wheel gets oiled. Call them.

I told my husband that his entire 2015 tax check was going to my Tummy Tuck lol! And a new wardrobe of course

I am also hoping for a December date. I was initially scheduled for 12/3 but have to switch surgeons. I go see my new surgeon'On the 13th and should get my date then

Worthy of RE POST.

Surgery monday morning check in at 5:30. Woohoo. So far down 10 lbs cause I cheated a total of 4 times subway, lennys kieser sub, taco salad, and tortilla chips with salsa. Ithink is a texture thing! Lots of pickles

I am closing in on surgery Monday morning. I've been on the pre op diet for, oh I donno, like 18 days? It has all run together. Dragged on, and also gone by fast. I've lost my mind, raged, stormed off, had homicidal dreams, and had fights with people on the internet. I cheated exactly 3 times with 1. a double cheese burger 2. 2 donuts and 3. an oatmeal cookie. I have fantasized about tomatoes, learned that pickles have no calories, and could right a dissertation on how Jello is NOT food. I have come to terms with my weaknesses, and realized I am stronger than I think. I have lost 13 lbs and my pants are falling off. This is the hardest thing I have done in a long time, maybe ever. Oh, and I also quit smoking on top of all that. Well, it is going to be worth it. #SkinnyArmy!!!

That us an awsome deal! I wish they would have had that a year ago when I got mine. I'd grab it ... that blender is amazing... I use it for everything

I simply said I was having surgery. If anyone asked what kind I said "elective". My husband actually said "corrective" instead.

I found out yesterday that I was approved. Pre-op appointment 11-4. I'm both excited and scared.
Now I have to figure out if I'm going to reveal this to anyone other than immediate family. I hate to lie but also don't want to hear all of the opinions.

costco has a blendtec online special right now.

Congrats, I should know something by next week.

Congratulations! Soon you will be on your way to a brand new life!

Good for you! I know the excitement you're feeling. I just got my date today.

My request was submitted on 10/18 and I was approved on 10/29!!! Finally. I am ready!!!! Surgery date is 12/17

I'm a Phlebotomist, carer (elderly and Learning Disabilities) and have just got a diploma in hypnotherapy.

Ok... I am 'research girl'.. best place to get blendtec is bed bath and beyond. Call the closest store, order it, use a 20% off coupon and ask for free shipping. Comes to just under 350

Just wanted to see if anyone else feels this way post surgery.
One of the things I had always done when eating out prior to surgery is that I would look at the menu and make decisions about what I would order based on how much food I thought I would get. It was the quantity that was most important. It didn't matter if it was something I might have liked the taste of as much as whether it would fill me up.
It actually took some time after surgery to get to where I was out of this mindset. But now, it is really liberating to sit down and know that I can't eat like that even if I wanted to, so I now can focus on the quality and taste when in choosing what to order. For example, my favorite item might be ceviche or something like that, but I never would have ordered it presurgery because it was a small plate of food. It's very liberating now. It was amazing when I realized that i was actually stressing about whether something was going to be enough for me.

Just over 5' 8 in a half and I am 168. Looking to be 153.

Goal weights will change as you see your self I'm 5'8 at 171 my goal was 185 I was happy either way but not tryna get to normal bmi if 165 this is how I look
Ppl mostly feel like they look sick because your not use to seeing yourself that small but my advice is get down at least 10 pound under what you really wanna be .. I decide to let my sleeve lead me

Surgery monday. Check in at 5:30 woohoo. Hello new me for my bday in January!

I got approved....YEAH....Nov 20th here I come & I'm having my 35th B-day party at the hospital!!! lol

I am scheduled for November 12th! Very excited about the surgery and finally losing the extra weight I've been carrying around for 12 years!!!
