I finished my last diet visit and had my EGD done about 10 days ago. It was all submitted and I was approved on Monday. I didn't find out until Wednesday because I was traveling, but I am so excited. My last hoop to jump through is a cardiac clearance an EKG. I should have surgery in mid-June.

Congrats!

I'm hoping for a quick approval! I did my labs, barium swallow, and final nutritionist appointment today.

Thanks! Good luck to you. I have Cigna and I have heard they can be tough.

I have Humana... I haven't heard anything about if they are tough or not... I hope not! Lol

I hope you hear back as quickly as I did!

Congrats! I have Cigna and they are reasonable....you just have to follow their instructions and meet the criteria based on what's posted on their website. They are not as difficult as you have heard. I have a great nurse case manager they have assigned. She called me the day before surgery and the day after my discharge to make sure I had what I needed.

That's awesome! I can't wait for the next stage of life. I am really excited.

Congrats. I know exactly how you feel. I was approved two weeks ago and had my surgeon meet and schedule Wednesday. I am being sleeved on June 6th and I can wait. I have a countdown to start my liquid diet and I am thinking if starting at least one shake a day now to prepare my body. Good luck getting your date soon.

Congrats on your approval and getting a date set!

I've been doing one shake a day since December... The easiest to do for me is Breakfast. I've been trying to incorporate two a day, but it has been a challenge.

I was thinking about doing mine at lunch but it says to do breakfast when I start the first week of my 2 week preop diet. The second week is 4 shakes a day.

I just got approved! Waiting on my date now!
