Pre op at 530. In surgery at 8. My surgeon showed up late, it was supposed to be 730. I was in recovery around 10 (I had a hernia repaired) and in my room by noon.

I have Anthem through Sisc. I printed out 6 months of my Sparkpeople.com account with weekly info on weigh ins, exercise, Diet, water and nutrient intake. There were a lot of pages, but my surgeon sent it in eith a letter that he had reviewed it and found it sufficient. I was approved 3 days later (May 4th) and got my surgery date that same day. I got sleeved on May 18th.

Im also scheduled for may 18th!! Glad we will all be going through this during a simmilar time frame.

My paperwork will be submitted to Anthem Blue Cross(CA) today.... How long did it take to get your surgery approved? Was there anything that you were able to do to speed up the process?

Im also in Cali but on the central coast. I'm currently driving 3.5hrs south to ventura/la area for my surgery... there is nothing else local. Im about 3hrs from Fresno, 3hrs from SF etc... it has benn a huge pain, and I can totally relate

Im also in Cali!!! Yeay!!
