    I am in the Chicago area... actually the suburbs but you know how it is. Easier to say Chicago than Huntley, people don't relate as much when you say the suburbs.
    Totally get it. I work in the Loop, but live in Oak Park. I saw your other post of BCBSIL. I'll let you know. I believe they are submitting for me early next week. They told me to plan for 2 to 4 weeks, but they are overly cautious about setting expectations.

    I dont have my date yet, waiting on insurance approval but the person who submits it doesn't seem too concerned about being approved. She said itll be late May or early June. I'm shooting for june. Gonna do this right and be off most of the summer. IM SUPER EXCITED!!

    I don't suppose with a name like CubyBlue that you're in the Chicago area? I am! Hello!

    Do you know what kind of pre op diet you will have yet? Mine is 2 weeks of liquid only but at least my surgeons office doesnt require a bowel prep lol
    We're going over the diet in a few days, but I believe it's the same -- two weeks, mostly Clear Liquids. I think I can have Protein Shakes, but otherwise it's just broth and crystal light. LOL

    I adore the Pumpkins! I love Bats so I love your name too Haha I'm hoping for beginning of June at the latest but we shall see. I've been on this journey since July of last year and it's been HELL but it's going to be so worth it. What surgery are you having love?
    Ouch! Nearly a year is a long time to be in limbo. My doctor really cheerleader this decision. I'm hoping to get officially approved while I have the momentum going. I hope to get the sleeve.

    So I didnt see a June thread and wanted to make one so we could all stay accountable and have a lot of good and bad experiences together!!! Introducing myself: My name is Kassandra, I am 27 years young, I have 3 great kids, a wonderful hubby, and 3 great cats. I'm a type 2 diabetic & have sleep apnea. I decided to do this to take my life back. I'm 5 ft 2 and 258 lbs. I had planned for the sleeve but my insurance won't cover it right now so RNY it is!

    *also posted on bypass board*
    Hi Kassandra! My name is Beth, I am 41 years old, married with one fabulous daughter and two awesome Beagles. I'm 5'6" and my current weight is 265 lbs. I started this journey in December when I was diagnosed with NAFLD and weighed 296 lbs. I'm fairly lucky to not have additional comorbidities, but a series of bad falls resulting in ankle injuries and surgery for a herniated disc have been my wakeup call. My doctor says I'm too young to be this disabled. I tend to agree. I just finished my approval checklist on Friday and have a tentative date of June 7 for a VSG. Come on, BCBS, make it happen!
