So I had planned not to have surgery until next year so that I could put money away for my deductible and my 20 %. I had decided not to tell my dad because I didn't think he would be supportive. I decided to tell him today. He said that he would give me the money for the surgery and to do it asap. Omg I will get to have the surgery this year!!!

I am happy that you were able to confide in your dad and he was supportive. Have you got a date yet?

They called me earlier today to set my date and I set it for Jan 19th. They wanted to do it next month. I am going to call first thing in the morning to schedule asap. Scared and excited. I seriously thought my dad would be completely against the surgery. He is the type that thinks if you just change your diet, you will lose the weight. I explained why I wanted to do it and all the research I have done and he said he understood. That is a miracle in itself.

Congrats Lisabug! It's always so reassuring when you have your family backing you in doing this!!!! Cheers!!-Tiffany

My date is Dec 1st. I only have a 3 day pre op diet. I have a feeling time is going to fly by.

Dec. 1st, CONGRATS!!!! It's right around the corner!

I won't be done with my pre-op until the first week of Dec so hopefully Aetna will approved pretty quick so I can have the surgery the last week of Dec. my surgeon thinks this shouldn't be a problem at all. And on top of getting the sleeve my Gyno will be coming in a tying my tubes at the same time!

As long as your dr's office is on top of it, you should get approval quickly from Aetna. It only took 48 hours once paperwork was submitted to get my approval. It took my surgeon's office over 2 weeks to submit. I love my surgeon, but hate his office staff. All the reviews I have read say the same thing.

Probably a good time for the tubes also. Since fertility goes through the roof during weight loss. My hubby is getting snipped. I wouldn't mind getting a tubal, but my dr only practices at 3 catholic hospitals.

Keep in touch. I hope everything works out for you.

That is wonderful news! So happy for you!
