Freckles70, that is so awesome!!! I can't imagine how I will make it through, but I know I have to!! It feels too real, and I'm really nervous! Where are you located?

May 10th is my surgery date!! Any advice would be appreciated! 1. What to take to the hospital. 2. Hints on how to stick to the liver shrink diet. 3. Anyone else scheduled for May 10th or close to it? I would really like a sleeve buddy!

I have a preop visit scheduled for this Wednesday where we will set the actual surgery date but I'm not sure what all is included in that pre-op appointment!

Anybody have any idea what you do at the pre-op appt? Like what test they do?

Thanks y'all! I went for my last weigh in yesterday and I was -7lbs from my first weigh in! My first weigh in I was 320.2. 2nd weigh in I was 316.4. 3rd weigh in 319.2. And the last weigh in 313.6. Does those numbers look like I'll be approved by insurance?

I have Aetna insurance PPO II. In the requirements it says that there must not be a net gain. What exactly does that mean? Like no weight gain at all? Or you can't be more than the first weigh in?

You can't have a net gain with Aetna or you will be denied!

I think I have Aetna PPO II or something like that! Hopefully, my doctor's office will submit it the day of my last weigh in. So, I should definitely call and not wait to get a letter in the mail?

Anybody else have Aetna insurance? If so, was it hard to get approved? How long did it take them to approve it? My last weigh in is 4/13 & I'm getting so excited!
