  1. I am in Cleveland too. I had caresource but the diet is 9months and it's impossible for them to approve. I'm at St. vincent charity hospital and can't rant and rave enough about them. I LOVE their team and feel so comfortable there. Look into a seminar!
  2. Yaay!! How long did it take them to approve!
  3. So good to see someone with Molina got approved! Did you have any comorbidies? I don't have any but I've been overweight for 20 years and have a bmi of 56. I'm really sticking to my pre op diet and doing everything my drs office is telling me, but I'm still so worried I'm doing all of this just for a denial.
  4. I'll be in November/early December as well! Rny for me I think
  5. Hi everyone! I am in Cleveland. I'm doing the bariatric program at St.. Vincent Charity Hospital. Dr. Chandra Hassan is doing my surgery sometime in November/early December depending on how long it takes my insurance to approve. I'm so excited and nervous about it all. I'm ready to start living!!

  11. We're pretty much in the same boat. I'm hoping mine will be sometime in November as my last appointment is october 13.
  12. Very cool! Good luck on your journey. My sleep study is also next week
  13. You look incredible!! What an inspiration
  14. I know how you feel. A lot of my family doesn't even know about my surgery. The members that do know act like they don't believe I'll really go through with it hopefully in time both my "support" system and yours will come around!
  15. Hi guys!! July 26 will be appt 3/6 for me. My last appointment (#6) is scheduled for October 13 so I'm hoping I'll have my surgery sometime in November/early December. I feel like it's so far away...
  16. Congrats!! I'm just now entering month 3/6 Pre op. You're so close! I can't wait to hear about your journey along the way
  17. Hi! I'm new to this site and in the Pre op phase. I'm going to be having my surgery by Dr. Hassan in Cleveland through St. Vincent Charity Hospital. I'm so ready for a new life. I'm only 22 years old and have been overweight literally since the age of 2. I have no idea what it's like to be normal! July will be month 3/6 for my pre op visits. Anyone have Molina?
