April 18th

Surgery getting close and I have to admit I’m a bit nervous. I find myself wondering if this is for me, if I should just hit the gym and get really focused on healthier choices.

I think that happens to all of us. I am starting to see before and after pictures of women 4 months out that are my size and it’s asking me realize how quickly the weight will come off. A little nerve racking. So much change so quickly

My sleeve is booked for 30th of April, i just want it to hurry up and arrive know

Same. Just got my date yesterday and it’s April 30

Just got my surgery date today...April 30th is the big day.

Oh I am annoyed. My insurance approved Friday. They got my surgeon’s approval today. But they have to wait to get a signed copy of the approval before they’re call me to schedule. Seriously? We’re waiting on a signed copy in 2018?

Ugh. Sorry everybody. For some reason streams are getting crossed when I try to post on another thread it ends up here

Awesome! Me too! Do you know your date yet?

Waiting for my surgeon’s office to call, probably tomorrow. They only schedule 2-3 weeks out. My friend from the clinic support group had her surgery 2 weeks and 3 days after she was approved

I thought premier tasted awful!!! Plus they only have one flavor which I didn’t like to begin with. I did try protein20 and love it!

That’s good to hear! They do have an orange flavor on Amazon but I doubt it’s any better. Those milky shakes are always hard for me so I’m hoping to find a better solution

so my mom had the sleeve 4 years ago and she gave me some bad advice tonight. i found out insurance approved my surgery yesterday so i'm expecting a surgery date on monday. my surgeon only schedules 2-3 weeks out.

my mom told me that i don't even need to follow the liquid diet really and definitely not for two weeks because i'm not big enough to have that much fat around my liver and that if they have a opening in say, 10 days, they'll probably book me for it. she said she barely had to do the liquid diet for hers. we also just had a family friend get sleeved last year. her surgeon had an opening and she just went. it happened very quickly.

I haven't tried Isopure, but Premier Clear has a strange consistency to me. Almost slimey or oily.

i heard from my insurance company on friday that i have been approved...just waiting for the surgeon's office to talk and schedule!!

It’s so exciting to see so many people getting approved right now. Congrats to all of you that had to go through this stressful process. I’m currently in the first week of an extended pre-op diet that my surgeon has recommended and it’s been hard with it being so basic and changing everything so quickly. But I make it happen to ensure I don’t lose my date.

I think it will hit me when I actually have a date. It definitely hasn’t yet

I should wait for two weeks to be approved from my insurance

It doesn’t hurt to call your insurance company and check the status

No, my insurance company told me I was approved. I imagine my surgeon’s office will call Monday to schedule

I was approved by insurance today!

I hope to get a date soon. I’m not sure if my surgeons’s office gives me a date at the same time paperwork is submitted or if I have to wait until approval to get a date ... I think I will call them tomorrow! So exciting to KNOW that you will get your surgery two weeks from tomorrow - I am jealous!

My surgeon’s office schedules the surgery after insurance approves

Every surgeon and hospital is different. I had my last appointment yesterday (tues) and they’re submitting to insurance today. I had a 6 month requirement by my insurance

Once approved, their office only schedules 2-3 weeks out. They have to book the OR time they have coming up before they can book further out. Everyone’s different but I’m hoping for surgery at the end of the month

Congrats! My final appointment was today and they are preparing everything to end off to insurance tomorrow! I have bcbs and I heard some people hear in 24 hours and some hear in a week or two. My BMI is just over 40 so hopefully it goes quick

Once approved, they schedule approx. 2 weeks out
