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,

Gah...sometimes I feel like it won't ever end! But it will...and then we will all feel better than we do right now.

I have to wait until the second or third week of May to do the testing...they need to be within 30 days before surgery...the orders are hanging on the fridge waiting.

So' date=' today was my last appt with my surgeon before submitting for insurance approval. Woohoo, right?? The psych has not sent her clearance in, but I emailed the assistant so I'm sure that will happen in the next couple of days. However, here's my "issue"...the nurse tells me today that they still need clearances for cardio, sleep, and upper GI. Seriously, woman...you're telling me this NOW??? All this time, I've been assuming (yes, I'm the ass in that equation) that I won't need those because I have no history of issues. They told me they always wait for the insurance company to issue the approval before they have the patient do those things, but I'm a planner!! I could have been getting ON this crap already! Arrrggghhh...it just makes me feel like I'm suddenly playing catch up or something. I know it's stupid, but it's just how I am. OK, the rant is over...we will now return to your regularly scheduled programming...<img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

Ohhhh wow ... They was suppose to tell to you do all of those things even if you don't have any issues before they summit to the insurance that's what my surgeon did ... I had to do psych

Upper GI , I had to get an echocardiogram , stress test , sleep study , pft's physical and i see the NUT every 2weeks ... now I'm waiting to hear .. My surgeon is saying June 3 pending insurance ... I have to take a pre op seminar on may 10 ... And I reached the goal weight he gave me before surgery ...

Anxiously waiting !!!! So I have a folder with all the stuff I will be sending to insurance. I have all letters but 2 (primary doctor and psych eval) which I should receive in the next 2 weeks!!! I'm really nervous. Time is ticking and I'm really hoping for a June surgery. For all those going through the process along with me good luck on this journey our time is soon to come !!! Praying for a speedy trial lol this is all I can think about

I am hoping for a June surgery date.. My seminar is may 15th and there is no 6 month waiting period.

I find myself over thinking as well. Looking up anything and everything I can and doing major research. The one thing I can still tell you is I feel I have still made the best decision I could have for my health. Not too much longer!! Hang in there!

I have still been doing major research too. Lol, It must be the ocd nurse side of me. I must try to stay off google, lol!

Hello all! I'm scheduled for a band to sleeve revision on 6/10. It seems like so far away! I've already done my sleep study (no apnea) and EGD (no problems found) so just have to do a cardiac clearance and nutrition class at the end of May. I'm soo ready to do this!!

I am a band to sleeve revision scheduled for June 10th as well. Best of luck to you!!!!!! Keep in touch!
