That's awesome !

I knooooow, It's really a mind game I think. My last appointment was yesterday so I'm just waiting for the insurance to accept it. How long did your insurance take?

Yes ! And CONGRATS ! So close yet so far away, I swear waiting is the most painful thing haha.

I'm not from NJ BUT I live in Rockland County, I'm due to have my sleeve August 7th. I'd love to be your sleeve buddy!

Oh your more thorough I suppose, I knew I finished all my other appointments and the only thing left was my nutritionist appointment. So now that leads me to the dreaded wait for my insurance but I'll wait even though I'm super anxious.

Ugh , sorry my auto correct is just the worst. And I'll try again, she's just really busy, I actually haven't seen my surgeon since the first initial meeting I've had with him.

I called them already and they haven't received my claim yet for the surgery they said to call back august 3rd which I think is obscene.

Ahh my hospital is Greenwich Hospital.

I have mild sleep apnea, I'm getting my machine soon. I was lucky in doing a sleep study a week before my last appointment so I know that wont hold me back. My BMI was like 58.7 if I remember correctly and I had hypertension as well. I was otherwise pretty healthy other than being overweight. I have sciatica and herniated discs as well as GERD plus PCOS; so my issue list goes on and on. My starting weight was 405.7 throughout the 6 months it went up and down, I one time even went up to 390 but immediately gained it back; so much that I weight 408.00 my 5th appointment. I kicked into gear and lost the 6 pounds so for my last appointment I was 402.00. I've really been through the ringer during this long process.

Ahh okay, yeah thanks. So you had your surgery I'm guessing then ?

Well they said my insurance needed me to lose 20 lbs, I guess to show I was determined to go through this life change. Although when I was talking to my NUT she said they'd still approve it since I didn't gain more weight than my starting number.

My *

Because I didn't lose 20% of me weight like I was supposed to , I gained and lost the weight so like 6 pounds. That's the only thing I'm nervous about.

Ah I know I'm waiting for my insurance say so ugh it's literally so nerve wrecking

Congrats !! And yes I'm super stoked about finally getting through the 6 months & yes buddies we are !

I bet your anxious as well , playing the waiting game.

Thank youuu [emoji177] are you excited ?

I'm so jealous, and anxious I wish mine was this month just because of the liquid diet which scares me in a way and CONGRATS !

Awesome, thanks so much and ahh how'd you do two weeks I'd die for something to chew !

Ah awesome, thanks !

Hey Guys & Gals [emoji1480] I just finished my last Nutritionist appointment today and I am totally psyched,nervous and a little .. well a lot anxious. I wanted to create this thread to open discussion and new friendship, I have 15 days for my insurance approval and I'm crossing my fingers. My surgery date is August 7th, I'D LOVE to have a sleeve buddy ! I'm an open book !

Hey Guys & Gals ! Today was my last NUT appointment and I'm officially psyched and nervous at the same dang time. My surgery date is August 7th; i have to wait 15 days to wait for my approval, but for some reason I'm nervous they won't accept it. I have the Empire Plan (NYSHIP/United Healthcare) has anyone had any experience positive or negative with this insurance ? I'm open ears ! [emoji4]

Your doctor should check but you should call, I have blue cross blue shield so like united healthcare! My last appointment is July 11th.

Mine might be July 25th or August 7th depending if my insurance accepts me. I hope your super excited!!

Mine is August 7th, I'm super excited and nervous. My last nutrition appointment is next month, I'm praying my insurance accepts it. Then my sleeve is a go !!
