Hello All...

I saw my doc about 2 weeks ago. I will be seeing psych in about 2 weeks. After that I go back to my doc on 9/29/11. Hopefully meet with surgeon on same day. It is my wish that I am sleeved by my bday which is 11/4. I think that would be a great way to begin my personal new year.....So pls send positive thoughts and prayers my way so that I can get my sleeve!!!!! My doc did say that it should only take about 2 weeks for my ins to approve. So I am very hopeful!!

I'm hoping to get sleeved November or December as well. I am sending you lots of good vibes & positive thoughts your way!! Hopefully they have the boomerang effect.

Praying for you to get good news from your insurance company!! Keep us updated

Welcome to the wait game, it is worth every second of hoop jumping and waiting. The time will pass faster than you think and then you are sleeved and on the losers bench. Best wishes and keep us posted on your journey!!!!

I eat, sleep, breath, and think about VSG all of the time! I'm in the 5th month of 6 months of hoop jumping for insurance. My last appt is August 25th. After insurance approves, I have 4 weeks of pre-op meetings & tests. So I've given up on a birthday (10/8) sleeve but hoping & praying for a birthmonth (October) sleeve. Glad to know I'm not alone in this crazy insurance waiting game! My biggest fear is that insurance will deny, then what?

Then APPEAL< APPEAL<APPEAL and don't give up till you get your sleeve. My 6th appointment is Sept 9th and I hate waiting even though I am trying my best to practice sipping and eating slow. Still I hate that the insurance makes you do the hoops. They are gonna pay, why not just PAY all ready. Waiting sucks. Please keep me posted on your progress perhaps we can be sleeve buddies. Good Luck.

I will keep appealing till I get my sleeve. We must stay determined, we want it, we deserve it and the insurance needs to pay for it. We have done the hoops and they need to show the doctors the money. LOL. Keep me posted, maybe we will be sleeve buddies.

I will definitely be keeping you in my thoughts. You sound like you have this under control. I will just cross fingers insurance plays along. Welcome to the forum! Just try to stay positive. Time does fly a little faster than you think. Good luck on your journey!

Thanks so much everyone!!!

Sending positive thoughts your way!!!!
