I got approved today with one dietitian visit and a therapist clearance. I am 5'4" 215 pounds and have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and anxiety!! I am excited. They turned in the paper work Monday and approved me on Friday! I am scheduled for April 29th.. I put these details because these are things I was curious about when researching about insurance approvals and people's situations

Yay! Congrats

YEA!!!! I have the same insurance!. This makes me so excited!

OMG!!!!! You just totally relieved a lot of my stress. I think I'll be able to sleep tonight!!! I was having insomnia because I am worried I won't qualify. I have BCBS Texas too and my BMI is 36. I have sleep apnea and hypertension. So after reading your post- I think I may have a good chance! They will be submitting it this week (I hope). I have a lap band and want the sleeve revision. The lap band was a total failure and I've had it for 8 years....I'm ready for the dang thing to be removed! Hope all goes well with your surgery and thank you for sharing- it really made me feel better. Congratulations!!!

Awesome!! I'm waiting now to go into surgery!!

good luck!!!! pls keep us posted!

Yes good luck! I just had my surgery.. Wiping your mouth a tongue with a wet rag is a savior keep that in mind! Thiose lemon swabs make ur mouth water a bit but then they are dry and taste ten times worse! Wipe your mouth and I sides with a very wet rag! Even suck some water out and gurgle it, just don't swallow

have ya been able to drink yet?

Yes I have started drinking . I'm not thirsty or hungry now it is hard to choke down anything, I hope it gets better!!

I hope you feel better soon. Are ya takin' a lot of pain meds?

This is something I have really wanted, but I am getting scared the closer it gets! lol!!
