Thank You catwoman7. You are helpful.

Ok Ladies... I have a definite date of October 11th for my Sleeve. I will be staying overnight; I would really like to know what y'all took to the hospital in your overnight bag. Did anyone get to shower before going home?? Thanks in advance. [emoji847][emoji847]

DoodlesMom, I wish there were more men like him out there. I wish more men & women making a change like we all are had a spouse/significant other as supportive as I have.

I guess my guy is a 1 in a Billion these days. He is so super supportive & his only concern with this whole process is how hot I will look after a yearish. He is worried I will want to be with someone else & I keep reassuring him that is NOT the case. We have been together 24 years & Married 23. I am 46 & he is 51. No way do I want to start all over with someone else. HW: 312 March 2020 Gallbladder surgery weight: 287 CW: 266.4 been staying on 1000-1300 calorie since I had my surgery date of 7/17/2021 which got cancelled because of my Insurance saying I had more to do to qualify.... [emoji34][emoji43] Still waiting for a Surgery date....

Why isn't he on board with the surgery? Does he not want you to be healthier etc...? My hubby has been on board since we found out I am at a 52 BMI & I have an overly fatty liver. He has been to all my appointments with me and heard everything the Dr, Dietitian, Cardiologist, & Psychologist has had to say... He is even planning to do the liver shrink diet with me once COVID allows my surgery. I hope yours comes around soon. Praying for Yall.

Does anyone have HCA/Aetna because you or your spouse work for an HCA Hospital???

Insurance just recently informed me I had to show a current A1c & I had to have proof of 5 more Dr visits before they will approve. Dr office said same but it has to also be a total of 6 months not 3 months. So I did my blood work & talked with my Primary Care about 5 past visits where we discussed my weight & what I needed to do; they are submitting that info & my blood work. Fingers crossed & with God on my side, I pray I have an update next week... [emoji120][emoji120][emoji120][emoji120][emoji120][emoji120][emoji120][emoji120]

Got a call from my INS yesterday & was told I have more hoops to jump through before surgery can happen. Very frustrated and hoping I can get this all finished up today, to schedule my surgery Soon. Got an appointment with my PCP to see if I have past visits that will work...

Pleasanton, TX. Surgery will be in San Antonio as soon as I can get a Definite Date, still in limbo there because of "low staff & beds" at the Methodist Hospitals... {Had a surgery date for 7-17-2021} Dr is Dr. A. Kumar, same Dr that did my Gallbladder in March 2021. Can't hardly wait for a Date...

I homeschool my niece & nephews.

Sue2, I pray they can reschedule for 7/21 or 7/28 it won't be as much time before school but better than middle to end of August.

Surgery was scheduled for 7/17 & today 7/14 I got a call from central scheduling & my Dr's office that the hospital is under staffed & has no beds.... What a sad day... [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24] I was trying to get this all done & be onto stage 3 by the time school started. Now I have no clue when it will be rescheduled for... Now back to waiting & Praying it will be very, very soon.

My surgeon will be with me all the way through.. He is still on my INS. & working for a Methodist Hospital... Im so happy & looking forward to Saturday 7/17
