@@Butterfly123 Thank you so much! This is good information. I've already started on my household chores. I'll have have my movies ready to go as well. I am also going to look for the Premier Protein shakes this weekend. I need to pack a bag for the hospital so I will check the forums on what all I should bring. I appreciate your help. This is exciting!!!! ????????????

I will be having surgery with Dr. Lahmann on the 5th of July. So far the process has been very smooth and informative. If you are thinking of going through this office you will be in good hands. Sent from my SM-N900T using the BariatricPal App

Day 11 of pre-op diet and my surgery date is approaching fast. I must admit I am nervous! Is there anything special that should be doing to make things a bit easier for the day of surgery? Also I was going to continue purchasing Protein shakes from my surgeon's office but purchasing both the Protein Shakes and Vitamins are very expensive at $73 per month. Any suggestions on a less expensive Protein shake? TIA Sent from my SM-N900T using the BariatricPal App

I am scheduled for July 5th. Today is the first day of my pre-op diet and I am soooooo hungry but I can't wait!!!!

@@farooforever yes I have seen many cases of this but fortunately for me it was a false alarm it wasn't my surgery that was denied it was a procedure outside of the surgery for repairing a hital hernia which I don't have.

Thank you @@ssflbelle! I will most certainly stick with it all the way up until surgery and well beyond. Yes crafting is my new thing and I love the crafting groups on FB. The ladies and gentlemen there are really talented. Seeing so much pretty stuff and talking about it almost everyday my husband got me a Cricut so that I could stop talking to him about the projects that I see lol! I'll keep you posted on my progress.

@@Valentina Thank you! I can't wait!!! Mine transformation doesn't start until July but I am happy that at least it will be summer and no winter coat will be needed when it happens. I will definitely keep posting.

@@Scarolann So what I was told over the phone today is that when they submit for approval they usually submit more than one code and figured that the one for the letter that I got would be denied. I may be wrong but I am thinking that since this particular code was for repairing a Hiatal Hernia that they go ahead and submit for this anyway just in case if once you are in surgery and they find that you actually do have one then you are already approved for them to do the repair as oppose to scheduling you for another surgery. I hope that this helps. I would just give them a call in the morning. If it did not specifically state the name of the procedure that you are having then you are most likely fine. That would mean that one of the procedures other than your major procedure was not approved. No worries. To clarify what you received just go ahead and give them a call first thing in the morning. Please keep us posted.

@@Marie2016, @@Susan66, and @@crazygoose Thank you ladies! I'm done running and dancing in the halls singing James Brown's I feel good! Nobody was there to throw the cape over my back but that's alright because I feel like I'm on cloud nine.

@ Thank you!
