Hello all! If interested, I started us a June 2013 Sleevers group so that we can all go through this process together! Hope you will all join and let's lift each other up.

Thanks,

Museum Mama

Im guessing im having mine between June 17-30 i see my psych monday along with the NUT again i jus got my cpap machine and i jus needa see the cardioigist ! Getting closer im so ready lol

Hello all! I'm a tentative June 5th :-) sooooooo excited!

June 24th is my date

Finished my FINAL thing for insurance today!! YAAAAYYYYY now for my surgeons office to submit it and then we wait.....

I had appointment 5 of 6 today. My last appointment is May 13th. The only thing missing (that I know of) is the letter of medical necessity from my primary care doctor. He is working on it. I am planning to have everything ready so the paperwork can be submitted on the 13th or 14th. I spoke with a nurse at Meritain, my insurance company, and she stated that once all the paperwork is received, they should have an answer in 2 days. I'm cautiously optimistic. I do know that my surgeon is scheduling about a month out. That would put me around June 18th, I'm hoping. I have this all worked out. Now if everyone will just do everything on my time frame, it will be perfect:) Keep your fingers crossed. I'm praying. My gallbladder has started acting up and I just need it to hang in there until surgery. I do NOT want 2 surgeries when I can get both done at the same time.

Hi everyone!

Like Diva1, I'm also a teacher so I'm waiting until June. That will make this a year long journey!!! I started the process with one group last June, then decided to switch surgeons. Then I decided to wait until the end of the school year!! While I know that was the right decision, sometimes I feel like it's never going to happen.

I've done all the pre-op testing so I just have to wait another two weeks then the nurse coordinator said they'll start the process with insurance. I am aiming for June 26.

June 19 here too!

I see my surgeon on May 13th and will get my date then. The coordinator said he usually schedules for 4-6 weeks out so I'm a June sleever too! This process has been 15 months in the making with two insurance denials. I'm ready to start my new life!!

June 19 here too!

Mine is June 18th!

AmyRN, where are you getting yours done?

Hey everyone, I too am hoping for a June date. Just met with the surgeon yesterday, and waiting for the nut and psych tests.

The timing could be better though. I live in Michigan which is incredibly beautiful in summer, so people pack in lots of fun stuff:). I'm having kind of a hard time finding the best date, may wait till August or September but I certainly hope not!

Looking forward to having some support people here:)
