How awesome! What month do you think you are going to be getting it done in?
I believe I'm going to be an October surgery, but won't get the date until approval goes through. If not, definitely November!
I'm still pre-op, but when I'm watching what I eat and people are pressuring me, I say, "No thank you. I don't eat that." It's firm, and I feel empowered instead of apologetic.
I have Anthem (CA) and I have had to do all my prep before I could meet the surgeon. Then surgeon referred me for the endoscopy. That happens in 12 days, then they can submit for surgery approval. I was told up to 4 weeks for approval with Anthem, but have heard many people on here say 2 days. I can't set my date until I'm approved, and the wait time for my surgeon is about 5 weeks. I'm thinking November but would LOVE October (or asap)!
I'm meeting with my gastrointestinal doctor tomorrow (9/3/15) so we can schedule the endoscopy. That's the last pre-op thing I have to do before insurance submission. I'm so excited and will take the first available appointment! Best of luck tomorrow
