I have Aetna and got the official letter yesterday that I was approved. I knew I was because the doctor's office called to schedule the pre-op testing, but until I had that letter in my hand I didn't want to say anything. So it looks like my surgery will be sometime in the beginning of June. I have to say I'm excited and nervous about this. Reading all the posts here and the replies I've gotten from my posts helps reassure me that I'm making the right decision.

It's gonna be a long month until my surgery. Now I need to think about getting everything ready for after the surgery. I live alone so any suggestions on things to get before/after surgery would be appreciated.

Hi there

Congratulations!!

I'm scheduled for 10th June, so we might be around the same time. Like you I'm also starting to prepare things, clearing out food cupboards, starting to use a Protein shake for Breakfast, smaller portions, upping my exercise to maximise my fitness for the surgery.

Keep us informed on how your month is going, and when you get your date thru.

Congratulations to both of you, you will love being sleeved!

YAY YAY, I'm so glad that you got insurance approval, and you're on your way ! ! !

Yippee!!!

Congrats!

What did your doc tell you about your pre-op starvation...errrr..diet instructions? did you get them yet?

There seems to be a wide range of what docs are doing.

Congrats on the approval Isure everything will be fine.

Thanks everyone. I'll let you know when I get the offical date. I don't have the pre-op diet instructions yet, but I'm hoping get that soon. My only concern is that I have a birthday coming up and would hate to be on a liquid diet!
