  1. Good point. Thanks for pointing it out.
  2. Wow. That's a lot of protein. Thanks for the tip.
  3. I kinda want to cut back on eating a wk before even though I was advised to do a two day liquid diet. This fatty liver business frightens me. I would hate to be opened up and sewed back up because the surgeon couldn't operate.
  4. Ok. How was your diet before the liquid diet? Did you have any food funeral?
  5. My doctor didn't put me on a pre op diet. He told me to start clear diet two days before procedure. This makes me nervous. ???? my procedure is 1/18/16. Has anyone had the same experience?
  6. Omg so soon!!! Happy for you. Good luck with your prep! Tell me how it goes.
  7. Yes they are. Mine was covered. I did a home one.
  8. The other day. Like Thursday my insurance coordinator submitted my info to horizon and I was approved today. So exciting! My preop class is on Wednesday. Anyone else getting their sleeve done this month?? My surgery is January 18.
  9. My stuff was submitted last Thursday and I was approved today. How did your sleep study go?
  10. It's funny that you post that today. Just got a call from my insurance coordinator. She submitted it today. Thanks lol! About how long did it take for a response?
  11. Crossing fingers!!! Everything will be ok.
  12. Ok great. I guess communication is key!
  13. I wonder why my insurance coordinator told me thirty days before procedure?
  14. If you're anxious try calling the insurance company or check on The horizon site.
  15. Thanks for your honesty!!! Especially when describing the moments leading up to surgery. Good luck with your journey.
  16. Best of luck dear!!!!! ????
  17. Lol I really don't know how it works. But I guess we just check in each other's progression and be there as supports for one another to the minutes leading up to surgery and after so we don't feel alone.
  18. Omg yes. Let's be friends haha!!!
  19. Dr. Bertha. Morristown.
  20. What state are you in. I'm n NJ.
  21. My insurance coordinator just told me they can't submit for authorization until 30 days before my procedure ???????????? its scheduled for Jan 18. So we have to wait two weeks. I'm nervous and really anxious. I don't wanna push my date up.
  22. My surgeon gave me a surgery date before approval. It's being sent to insurance tomorrow. Crosses fingers!!! Hopefully I can keep this date.
