I submitted my papers Monday, & was notified today that my insurance approved my surgery. My surgery is set for June 4th. Now that I have a date I'm so nervous.

Hi Im glad I found this site! I got approved... But I don't see the surgeons till the 6th. I've already got a phyc who I've been seeing. Anyone know if I'll have to see her again? Also will the surgeon give me a date? I'm nervous, but I'm tired of this weight and people that I know personally asking me if I'm pregnant. Sigh

Congrats to both of you!!! I have my surgery on the 13th of June. My guess for you babydoll56 is that they will get your surgery scheduled within just a few short weeks of seeing the Dr. Good luck to both of you!!!

I saw my phyc once when I began this journey, she approved me & that was it

Thanks!

Thanks sooooo much guys! I've been praying for this for long. I got a phone call saying I was approved. I haven't told the drs which procedure I would like.... But after researching the sleeve procedure that's what I want. This is a good support forum.

Congratulations!!!!

Congrats labu, I added your date to the June Sleevers thread located at http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/39508-june-sleevers-compilation-good-luck-well-wishes/

Ok just got from dr appt Has anyone gotten the sleeve with mesh already in. I had my one on one with the dr and he said since I've had 2 hernia repairs he may not be able to do the sleeve. Has anyone experienced this.

I had two hernia repairs and a lapbad removal and my doctor didn't say it was a problem at all

Thanks so much for replying. I thought I would be getting sleeved much faster....especially when the patient advocate told me my surgery was approved ugh!!! I have to have 6 months of paper work from dr stating my weight etc. since I was seeing my dr already for the weight gain she was able to go back to April. Yeah !!!! So I've got July , August , and September. My consult with my nut is in August. I hope maybe they will speed it up lol.
