So close and yet it seems so far! My pre-op appointment is tomorrow! Wow that came up so fast!! No surgery date yet but now they will be able to submit for approval!!! I am so excited!

so excited and scared my surgery is scheduled for sept 30

In my 6 months of medically supervised weight loss, I managed to lose 6 lbs. But somehow, in the 3 weeks since my 6 month appointment I've managed to lose 7 lbs. I haven't actively been doing anything different, but apparently, being able to focus 100% on just getting healthy is a way more successful approach than focusing on trying to lose (or even just not gain) weight! I still have work to do in getting myself going in the exercise department, but I'm feeling really good about my relationship with food these days!

too cute! Mine will be 11 this year!

Surgery set for September 21st...excited and nervous at the sametime!!

lucky you!! They are making me use a bipap machine even though I seem to be getting worse sleep with it... I'm so hyper aware its there I can't sleep ... Driving me nuts!

I snore really loud, that's all I'm waiting on now, is this in house sleep study, wish they hurry, I already 1visit with the nut, 2 visit with the psych Dr, had a upper GI, n upper endoscopy, n my first sleep study appointment, all of that in June. Next week I have my pre procedure testing(I don't know what tests are left) almost to home base!!

What's up Wonder Woman!!!! Hahah

Hello all, I too am "tentatively" scheduled for September, the 21st to be exact... but that date can change depending on my insurance. I have my psych evaluation on 7/27, and my last dietary apt on 08/03 and then it will be submitted to my insurance for hopefully QUICK approval. I have read, and read and read until I can't read anymore. I am ready to do this... but of course I have a lot of nerves. My main concerns is about blood clots. Although I am not someone who get blood clots I know that is a concern for sleevers. My gastric Dr, kind of made a big deal about the clots in return making me want to research until my fingers bleed (not really) and I just can't research anymore. I guess this is all part of the process, worry, nerves, excitement all wrapped up in 1! I am putting it in God's hands and hope and pray and have faith that everything will go as planned. I look forward to following this forum during my process.

So, I was supposed to have had my psych eval. this week but the place where I was going to get it called and told me that my ins. would not cover any of it because they are out of network and I haven't met my deductible. They said if I paid out of pocket, it would be $400 - $500.00. Needless to say I canceled and found a place that does take my ins. They called me today and said my ins. is covering the whole visit!!!! I had to have them repeat it because this process has been so expensive for me so far!!

I haven't been able to experience most places being able to accommodate. She's so very sensitive to soy, her body can detect even a trace of soy.
I've been told by everyone how lucky my daughter because I do love to cook and she loves it. If only I ate like her, I wouldn't require this surgery. She has the best diet ever. She doesn't like red meat, her dad and I chose not to give her pork, she only eats turkey, fish, chicken. She eats fruits and veggies, more than the settings a day, and no dairy.
I haven't told her about my surgery yet. She'll worry way too much. I haven't figured out exactly what I'll say to her or when to tell her.
Thank you for sharing! ????

. Pretty much ... But some places will change things up to accommodate ... My husband and I love sushi so when we order it we tell them we have allergies ( me soy both of us fish) and they will start with fresh tools and make us veggie sushi .... But yes for the most part I have to cook from scratch ( good thing my momma taught me well)

My sleep study just got bumped up from 8/7 to 7/10... with this test done... I can schedule my surgery, my nutritionist visit, anesthesia visit, and get my FMLA/UNUM paperwork completed. I'm at my job bouncing off the walls. OMG... The ball is about too start moving... still want my surgery in September...Even even August makes more sense. I'm going to be a September Sleever

call, ask to speak to your surgeon directly or his nurse, chances are he/she may not know that you haven't been scheduled yet, give them a time frame to get you a date and threaten to cancel, that should get their attention.

Or threaten to report them!!!

same with mine....its frustrating I want /need to plan around it but can't

I had the same thought today! Its such a strange feeling to actually have hope!

I am hoping to have surgery at the end of September. I go for my first appointment on July 13th.
I work at the hospital & I do the pre-authorizations for bariatric/plastic cases so I already know what I have to do to get my insurance to pay for it. Lucky me, my hospital & my insurance have an agreement so as long as my BMI is over 40, they will cover the cost at 100%.
Good luck!
I am scared, nervous, & not sure. But I am tired of being overweight.

I don't know about the rest of you but I just had a moment where I realized that next 4th of July I will be nearly half my size. It made me *SMILE*

Happy 4th everyone!!

Hope your hubby is ok!
