I just called my insurance and found out I'm approved for the sleeve! I had to call the surgeon's office and tell them and they scheduled me right away: JANUARY 9, 2012 is my day! Now I'm a little scared but excited too. I have pre-op on Jan 5 and they're mailing me all the info today. I can't wait!

CONGRATULATIONS! WHOOHOOOO!

It will be here before you know it. LOL!

Good day today huh?

It's a VERY good day. Christmas came early for me, that's for sure!

Awesome!!! I'm so happy for you!!!

Big congrats! I'm hoping for the same early Christmas present hopefully this week! So happy for you!

congrats!!! i was approved last wednesday & i became a little scared too but not too much. maybe like 2% of me is scared. i just want to lose weight & be happy! i have so much to look forward to! my surgery is scheduled for dec 20th at 8am. i have to be at the hospital by 615am. i went for my pre op appt today where they drew blood, took urine, had me sign a billion papers & gave me soap solution to wash my stomach with for the 3 days before surgery! this shall be very interesting! ill be keeping everyone posted on my journey via VST and youtube

I can't wait to get the packet of info... should be huge! I ran a couple errands and bought the first surgery take-along: gas-x strips! I've seen a few people post that they're good to have.

I actually got another gift- my insurance company finally caved and paid for my copay for the Dr. they sent me to and then said I couldn't use. It was only $28, but I took time off to go to another seminar and then first appointment only to find out I couldn't have surgery at that place!

And my Christmas cards just came. I should buy a lottery ticket!

Congrats!

Aww....That's wonderful!!

Congratulations!! It will be here before you know it! Waiting for the approval was the hardest part for me, it was all downhill (in the best of ways of course!) from there
