I would like to schedule my surgery for the first full week in March once my insurance is approved, any other March Sleevers in the building? :)

I'm in the same boat exactly. I'd actually like to have it last week of Feb if I get an approval ASAP, but that's kind of pushing it.

[day after you]

I have been waiting sooooo long to post to a thread like this. I have my date!!!!!!!

March 14th!!!! I have a 5 day liquid diet prior, so March 9. Cool thing about he timin of it is that I get to have my food funeral at Disney World, lol. I'll be there for a week end of feb. MARCH 14th!!!!!!

I am 5'9" and weigh in at a whopping 290. I don't know what my goal is. Ultimately 150, but I hope to be down 100 pounds in a year. Hell, anything in onederland sounds good right now.

YAY!!!!!!!

I am now in the waiting game as many of you are...I have completed the 6 month required supervised diet and have all testing done other than an ekg and chest xray. Everything is being submitted to Insurance for approval. Have no idea how long that can take. I had lapband in 2008 and have not been real successful in losing the amount of weight I had hoped too. Due to some knee, feet problems I was not able to do much of the exercising that I believe would have helped me be more sucessful. I am hopeful that the sleeve will allow me to lose more weight and then possibly be able to do more stuff ( exercise wise) taking some more strain off of the knees and feet. Have already had one knee replaced hoping to avoid getting the other one done. Getting sort of down on myself wondering I will fail at this attempt as well?

You won't fail. You will be successful. Speak those words over yourself. :) my insurance said it can take up to 15 business days to approve.

Hi everyone! I just got my approval after my 6 months waiting and nutritional visits that my insurance company required. I now have a surgical date of February 27th. I have my pre op physical Thursday, with EKG, and endoscopy on Friday. I then have my last surgical consult on the 18th. I'm so excited to start the journey, and looking forward to my new life of being healthier and exercising!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
