Anyone planning on getting sleeved Jan. 2013? Haven't seen anyone talking bout Jan yet. Looked at the monthy groups and it goes up to December 2012. I plan on getting sleeved Jan. 7th.

My target is January. The girl who runs things for my doctor told me that once I get all my pre-op checks done (EGD, NUT, etc.), that's when they submit. She said insurance has up to 45 days to respond, but usually do so within 7-10. I think I'll have everything taken care of by mid-December, so January is doable.

I have no date yet, and haven't been approved either. I hope they do. I want this life change so badly.

Just scheduled my surgery for January 14, 2013...I was planning on before the end of the year, but it didn't work out that way. I know January is just right around the corner...but it feels so far away!!

So glad someone started a January thread!! Makes me feel like it's getting closer and closer! My surgery is scheduled for January 22nd and I'm counting down the days to the start of my pre-op diet on January 8th. I love the holidays but I'm finding myself wishing they would all just be over so I can get my sleeve and start my new life! So excited! Hope the next couple months go by fast, fun, and easy for all my fellow January sleevers!!

Hi

My surgery on January 18, very exited it to

January is a good time. Bring in the new year and be able to keep that resolutuion. All the holiday eating is done and you will neet out of pocket all in Jan meaning insurance should pay 100 percent of all medical for the remainder of the year for all the follow ups. Lots of upside to Jan.

My surgery date is January 21 with Dr. Kenneth Cooper

Hello everyone!! I just signed up today!! I'm so glad I found this, I need all the support I can get. My last pre-op visit is next month so I will be getting sleeved in January 2013!! I'm so excited, nervous and a bit scared, but overall very happy with my decision. I look forward to interact with everyone on here!! :-)

Hi! I'm Marquel. Live in Santa Barbara CA. I'm getting sleeved 1/24/13 in TJ by Dr Rodriguez. It's pretty much all I can think about!

We've had to move my date twice and I think we have it right this time. Scheduled now for January at Forest Park Medical Center in Dallas.

January will be here before we know it!

I will be finishing my 3 month pre-op program at the beginning of December. So I should be sleeved sometime in January as long as my insurance approves I was looking for a Jan 2013 forum, but it's not out there yet. We need one!

I'm in the St. Louis area and Dr. Richardson from the New Start program will be doing my surgery. I can't wait!!!

January 30th is my surgery date!

First Post here. Went for first visit to the doctor and have started the process. Have psycological visit tomorrow. Hope to have all done and insurance approval for surgery first of January. Been in this body for 56 years and look for new lease on life so I can live long enough to see my daughter married and hopefully my grandkids born and married.

I'm using dr lisa too, I love her! I'm scheduled for 1.8.13 after a set back. My surgery was supposed to be next week. I'm so sad.
