  9. Surgey scheduled for the 7th of March. Down 3lbs in two weeks. Goal is to lose 10 before day of surgery. Pushing the fluids hard. Hope I can do it.
  10. Thank you everyone. I can't wait till I'm sleeved. Super excited about everything.
  11. Each plan is different. I have UHC and it covers all three procedures. The plan I have required that I complete six months of doctor supervised diet and exercise. Psych evaluation. I was just approved and my surgery date is March 7th.I know someone that has UHC and their plan required a five year weight history. I use to have Aetna but the plan I had truely was not a good plan. Didn't cover didly. So look closely and carefully at each one. I personally would choose UHC over Aetna any day. But to each his own. Deb
  12. Yay!! Got A Date. Pre-Op- 3/3 Surgery- 3/7 So exciting!!!
  13. Yay!!!! I'm Approved as well. Love UHC!!!!
  14. My case manager was super nice and I was shaking all the way home. This was just so amazing. Was so not expecting the call this soon. I'm still in shock. When I get my date I will let everyone know.
  15. I can not believe I was approved in 1 3/4 hours!!!!!!! Paperwork landed in UHC hands at 3:45 PM today and at 5:30 PM I received the call!!!! OMG!!!!! Waiting for the surgery coordinator to call me tomorrow with my date. I'm soooooo excited!!!!! YAY!!!!!
  16. Congrats on your date!!...Great news!!....Can't wait till my paperwork reaches my surgeon then its off to UHC
  17. Where do you find the shampoo?
  18. Thanks for the insight. Deb
  19. I know that some experience hairloss and some do not. I have natural curly hair. When dry it looks thick, full. When wet not so much. Very, very thin. I'm sure I will be one of the ones that will have hairloss. I've been looking at supplements. Not sure if taking them will ward off the hairloss. If it would make it not so noticeable. Or just do nothing at all. I will probably get the Biotin. If anyone has any suggestions, please share. (waiting on a date) So maybe I have some time to do some preventive maintainence so it won't be so noticeable. Thanks everyone. Deb
  20. Thought I would have had at least a confirmation that my paperwork was submitted to my insurance by now. Doesn't look like it is going to happen. My PCP & Clinician have yet to fax the final paperwork to my surgeon. I have even called and it seemed like I was getting the brush off. So I called the surgeons office and told them of my dilemma. I was connected to the voicemail of the pre-determination person. I left her a detailed message. I even emailed her. I will be calling them back next week for sure. I'm so not happy right now. Not sure how long I will be waiting on this. So frustrated right now I could just scream! Just needed to vent.
  21. All I can say is WOW!!!!! That is truely an inspiration for all. You look so amazing! I can't wait for my turn. Thanks for sharing!
  22. That is sooo amazing!!! 100 pounds in four months! I can't wait till I'm sleeved.
