I just called the insurance and they said that I was approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sitting here tears!! I think it's happy tears, nervous tears, scared to death tears!!!! I am looking at surgery either 7/30 or 8/6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am on the last 2 days of my pre op liquid diet. Lost 15 lbs so far. Started at 337.8 down to 322.8 and I have lost 7 inches already total. My surgery is this Thursday!

Thank you both for ur replies. I'm still kinda nervous about surgery but so excited to have some help getting down to a healthy weight. My 4 year old tells me she wants me only a little chubby not alot chubby. And she wants to go on the rides with me at Disneyland.

Hi everyone. I have been reading everyones posts and trying not to get my hopes up yet. I've been to the surgeon once, didn't see him, I saw his p.a. I wasn't sure at that time what surgery I wanted, the gastric or d.s. but she recommended the gastric. I'm good with that. My bmi is 54. I, very luckily, have no health issues besides GERD and spinal problems because my weight is compressing my spine. I have my check list of things I have to do before they can request insurance approval done on my end, now I'm just waiting for an appointment with the dietician and the psychologist. I also have an appointment with the dr for a sleep study. Then they submit for insurance approval. I'm so scared they are gonna deny it, I don't want to tell anyone I'm considering the surgery till I know. I went to my old primary care and he said that because I have no health issues I wasn't a good candidate. So that is why I keep thinking its not going to happen. I'm glad to have found this forum and to be able to read all ur stories and ask you all question.
