I am now super stoked...the office had told me last week that I was approved but yesterday in the mail I got my approval letter from the insurance company and the big info packet from the surgeon's office. I can finally relax and know that I am set to go and Feb 13 is going to really happen! I can't thank you guys on here for all the support and advice, it's been amazing and am so glad I found this place.

congrats! so happy for you.. your going to love your sleeve. I know I do. Just make sure you start getting yourself prepared now before surgery.. get exercising, get in plenty of fluids.. you unlike me have time to prepare for whats to come. I know you will do amazing!

Congratulations on your insurance approval. You must have some great insurance as mine denied me immediately.....thus the trip to Mexico. I think that you will never regret your decision and the new life that awaits. I know that my confidence and self esteem have increased in just the month since I had surgery and lost 30 pounds. I know how high you feel right now but this will be nothing compared to how you feel a few months after your surgery. Again congratulations and keep us posted.

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Excellent, CONGRATS!!! The sleeve so rocks, its gonna knock your socks off! LOL Keep us updated on how you're going.

CONGRATS! Welcome to the BIG LOSERS CLUB! :coolgleamA:

Congrats!! My insurance came back in just 10 days! I was shocked also.. Get your mind set different now because the ball game changes alot after surgery for the positive. You go from the the pressure of "wanting" it so bad to the "reality" of making your life the best it can be... I'm 4 weeks out and down 25 pounds!! I'm on cloud nine and can not wait for the rest of the journey.. My BMI of 35 was right at the cut off for my insurance so I was really worried..

Take care and good luck

Congratulations on your approval. Best wishes on your journey to a new you.

The letter was the final gratification and the moment it was really... Real for me!!! Yay for feb sleevers im just a day behind u

Congrats! Time will fly, trust me, and before you know it you'll be recovering from surgery.

Best of luck to you!

Hello all, I am new to this site. I just started my journey here in New Orleans and I couldn't be happier. I began my 6 month diet last week and I am well on my way. Any advice is welcome.
