Well I hoped to be having surgery in June but looks like July 11th is my day! By the time I get all the approvals from all the different sources, I was told that takes weeks. But I will be patient and count down the days until July 11th...

I'm playing the waiting game too. The hospital has submitted my paperwork to the ins co for approval. Now, just waiting. My surgery has been scheduled for June 29th, but that could change based on what the ins co does. Although, the doctor's office told me that I am so overweight that they most likely will approve it. Finally an upside to being "so overweight."

Just got my date, June 5! YEAH!

me too new hope!! so we will both be sleeved on the same day, exciting and scary at the same time. prayers for everyone here!

Finally got my date! June 27th!!

My date is June 22nd which happens to be my wedding anniversary. Prayers and fingers crossed for everyone.

I am so glad to hear others have their dates. I am waiting for the approval from the insurance company now. I haven't started to feel nervous yet. Probably because of all the other events happening in my life right now. Moving into a new house this upcoming weekend. The school year is ending and I have TONS of paperwork to get done by this Wednesday. Then next week I can breathe a little better.

I was surprised that is took about 2 weeks to get the insurance OK. My GP had called the insurance before I began with the bariatric doctor and had is ok'd. After I had all my test results it was about 2 weeks. @DelongH you do have quite a bit going! Good luck with the move and the end of the year!

I went to my first informational seminar in January at a local hospital. I forged ahead from there and received my surgery date in early May after waiting only two weeks for insurance approval. Looking back, it doesn't seem that the process took a long time. I had my surgery on June 1st at 7:30 a.m. Surgery went fine, but I staying in the hospital for four nights due to nausea and vomiting, which resulted from anesthesia. I was NOT prepared for that. On day four I had a psychological set back because I felt so sick. I had doubts about my decision to have the surgery. There were a few dark hours, but after a decent night's sleep, I felt better. Today is day seven and I feel pretty good. And even have lost 10 pounds since last Thursday.

Side note: I'm hungry. Hungry, hungry, hungry.

My date is June 19th! In countdown mode now. Nervous but excited as anything.

My date is June 25th!!!

My husband and I are scheduled for surgery June 26th in Mexico with Dr. Almanza. Anyone else going to Mexico with Dr. Almanza on or near the 26th?

I live in Melbourne Australia and had surgery June 26!
