Did you have the sleeve?

I'm pre-op. I've done everything, I just don't have a surgery date yet. Hopefully we won't have too much pain.

Hi. My doctor Only does outpatient. The only way you sTay oVerniGht is if there are complications or if you cannot handle the pain

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like I will just have to do a wait and see. I just got off the phone with the Dr's office and they just submitted to the insurance today. I'm still praying for a late July miracle date!

Thanks for the reply. I'm a spouse also. The insurance counselor at the center said it takes BCBS Fed at lease 30days to reply with approval. Did it acutally take that long for you?

Hi, I have completed all my pre-requisites for my insurance and now I'm waiting for a surgery date from my insurance, BCBS Fed. I'm a principal's secretary at an elementary school so I have June and July off. When I called to set up my initial visit for WLS, I was told that my surgery would most likely be in July but now I'm being told they're now into August for surgery dates. I hate the thought of missing a week at the beginning of school. Has anyone been able to get back to work in less than a week with the sleeve?

Good to hear you got a date. Congrats. I'm still waiting, I hope I get a July date.

I just saw your reply. I'm waiting to get my surgery date so I haven't experienced the liquid diet and hunger from it yet. Try to relax and clear your mind so you can sleep. I'm sure one or two peanuts won't hinder you. Make sure you don't eat anything in the morning. You've come too far. I'll be waiting to hear from you post-op!!

Go to bed early so you don't think about food. You're on your way.

So glad to hear your good news!
