I am so happy finally the day has come. I started the journey February of this year. My insurance require a 6 month medical supervised weight loss program with my PCP. July 10 was my last month. I only had to so 5 because I first went about my weight was October 2013. My PCP office faxed everything to the surgeon office on Tuesday July 16. I was told that it would take about 2-3 wks before I knew it got approved from the insurance. Well I got a called Tuesday July 22 to tell me that it is approve my pre-op is schedule for July 30 and my surgery date is August 11. I have been waiting for this day it kinda a bitter sweet I'm excited and nervous at the same time. All I can say is Wow.

Wow that is great keep it up happy for you

Thanks Ballermom I am so ready

Well went to my appt. My insurance change some requirements so now I will have to do 3 months consecutive medical supervised weight loss with my PCP. So I am looking at June or July before I can get the schedule funny thing is I was told not to lose much weight.

Great to hear that ur surgery went well.

Praying all went well.

Mine did the same thing. I don't think its fixed either.

Congrats very happy for you.

To 1day1life4now thank you for the warm welcome I will know on the 13th all I have to do hopefully I can get all of it done before the end of the month. And then will know my surgery date will keep ya posted

Good luck!!!

Hi my name is Anica I have been having weight problem since high school. The older I am getting it is harder to lose weight the traditional way. I work out 3-4 time a week and watch what I eat. Still the weight doesn't come off. I have tried weight watcher, paleo, doctor approve weight loss program, and evening juicing. Nothing has work may have lose 10lbs and then gain it all back and even more. 2011 I wanted the weight loss surgery so I schedule an appt. to find out that the insurance I had didn't cover it so I cancelled the surgery. As of Jan 1, 2014 the insurance I have now covers it so I made up in my mind that I will get the surgery to help me with the weight loss. I am using this as a tool knowing I will need to work to keep it off. When I tell people how much I way they look at me like I am joking because I don't look like I am that big, but the scale says I am. I am in a size 18 some 16 depending on how it is maded. The doctor I am using I have heard great things about. I already did the seminar online and pass the test that is at the end of the seminar. I had file out paper work online which ask question like how long have you been over weight and what type of plan have you been on to lose weight. Also asked about the insurance once I done this about two day later I received a call from the office stating they called the insurance company and got approved that this was a cover surgery. I got so excited. My consulation is Feb 13, 2014 for the sleeve. Once I go for all the other preop stuff. I can have a surgery date sometime in the end of March. While I am waiting I am still going to watch the things I eat and still do my workout.
