I'm thinking about starting a facebook page for all of us April sleevers to keep each other accountable. If I were to do this, would anyone be interested in joining? Sometimes it's difficult to keep up with all the messages on the original April thread. Just wondering.

EDIT: I went ahead and made the group. It is a "Secret" group to protect the privacy of those of us who aren't telling friends & family about our procedure. No one outside of the group will be able to see the group itself, who is a member, and the posts therein. To be added, please pm (private message me) the e-mail address you have associated with facebook, and I will send you an invitation right away. The invite will be from Khloé.

Did you guys have to diet for 6 months with ur doctor? Just read that a lot of other people had to do that. I hope I don't have to do that.

I am so excited to do this surgery! I want to do it tomorrow! I can not wait to get this weight off of me. I have always believed there is a skinny goddess trapped inside me somewhere trying to get out. I want to wear a bikini! I want to wear short shorts! And high heels! And live my life! Don't want to wait forever to start this process. Ready to do this now.

My insurance didn't require it. All I had to do was an appt w/ a nutritionist, a psych evaluation, and have medical clearance from my pcp. I started my journey on February 1st, completed all my requirements the following week, submitted to insurance on February 11th, and had my insurance approval on February 18th. It just depends on the terms of your insurance policy. Who is your insurance through? Mine is BCBS of CA.

Mine is BCBS of Georgia

Have you had an appt w/ a surgeon yet? They should be able to tell you what your insurance requires. Or you could contact your insurance directly.

No not yet. I went to the two hour seminar on gastric sleeve surgery that is required. I am waiting for them to call me for my appt. I have filled out all the paper work. Set up the pschy evaluation appt. another guy at my husband's work did this process he said they call u within 2 weeks and 2 weeks later they did his surgery. He didn't have to do any regulated diet. He has the same ins as me. So I am really hoping to get in soon. I live in Topeka Kansas.

Wish me luck that it can all happen fast for me!
