  1. How can I get an invite to the November secret fb group?
  2. Thx guys! I mistyped because I was tired and had a long day- lol! My date is the 16th. And I've had wonderful communication on my program, just wasn't sure if I should be looking in the mail for approval or of I'll hear from office!
  3. Will you always get something in the mail if approved/denied? I'm scheduled for November 12th surgery... A couple weeks ago a called my surgeons office to tell them I completed the last of my 6 month req... They said thAnks, But haven't heard anything .... Is this normal?
  4. Is there a November Sleeve FB group yet? I thought I saw talk of it, but wasn't sure if it happened... ]
  5. @@edodd We have very close dates and I'm a teacher as well!!! Good luck to you!!!
  6. Wonderful list! Thanks!
  7. I am trying to get things in place for after surgery.... What are some things you're making sure to get? I know I need to get a blender and I want to get some blender cups....but what else is on your list of things to get? Trying to be as prepared as possible!!!
  8. I am from Michigan and my date is November 16th!!! So excited!
  9. I was hoping to get the sleeve done during the summer, however, I couldn't count my pcp's documentation because I needed 6 consecutive months.... So now it's looking like October. This is an issue as I'll probably have to wait until November or December until I have a decent break to help with recovery.... Any teachers with any advice, tips, etc?
  10. How did your surgery go? I will be using Dr. Chengalis as well!
  11. I'm at the very beginning stages.... Had my first appt end of April! I see people saying that they didn't get approved because of a weight gain, but what are they referring to? Can you not gain any weight from first spot to surgery date? Or is it month by month? Or just on pre-op diet? I'm so confused.... I'm 3 lbs heavier than my spot last month... Will this be an issue?
  12. Did anyone go through Troy beaumont? Just had a quick question as I'm in the beginning process and had a question ????
  13. Hi! Very new to the process.... Had my first visit on the 27th of April and had a sleep apnea test the next night (pcp had already sent me for one). It came back positive.... Does this hurt my chances of getting approved?
  14. I'm in Michigan and going through pre-op.... Not sure of date yet, September or October I'm thinking. I'll be going out of Troy Beaumont!
  15. Hi! I'm in Shelby Twp. And I'm just beginning the process to get the sleeve ????. Just wanted to say hi!
