No not yet just finished my history and physical, insurance cord. Said she was working on packet to send out to the insurance company by Tuesday and hopefully ill have an answer by Friday!! Praying that is true and ill obtain a date sometime before 2013. How long was ur wait for the approval?

I had approval in 24 hours. You could easily have surgery in less than 3 months. :-)

Well keeping my fingers cross would love to be scheduled in Nov-Dec since the only thing I left to do is my surgeon consult, and pay the balance on my program fee...

Dr. Weiss IS pretty to look at, but it is his sincerity and confidence that I find most attractive. I haven't seen him since the day I was released from the hopsital, but should I ever get to face him again, I want to hug him as hard as I can!

newnew13, I was self pay (insurance doesn't cover any WLS), so I didn't have to wait for an approval, but I did the surgeon's consult and i had surgery 9 days later! So if your approval goes through, you should surely be good to go before the new year...good luck! Oh, and yes, Dr. Weiss is easy on the eyes ;)

Is there anyone on here in Kentucky that has either been sleeved or going through the process? I am in central Kentucky and it would be nice to have someone to chat with or text when I have questions or struggles. I know several people that have had gastric bypass and lap band but none that have been sleeved.

I'm not from KY but Southern IN, fairly close to Louisville. I haven't been sleeves yet but I'm one nut appointment away from sending everything off to insurance :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
