My surgeons office submitted everything toy insurance for approval last Tuesday 5/7, insurance said they would let us know in 7 - 10 business day if I am approved. They put me down to have my surgery on June 7th. I am dying to get approval from insurance , the stress an anxiety of the wait is driving me insane. I feel like my life is at a standstill because I don't want to participate in any kind of social functions until after my surgery. I have been reading this site for a while and this is the 1st time to post.

I meant my tentative appt. for sleeve is 6/6/2013

June 26

I have a June 24th date..I'm excited

I was sleeved last July in MX, live in Houston. 10 months out, 80 pounds down.

Congrats!!! Wow 80 is a big deal!

Harlie6pak35, we are in the same boat....scoot over. They gave me a date and I have to wait till things are approved as well. I really wish they didnt give out the date until it was already approved because it just makes you so anxious and nervouse WAITING for them. UGHHHH, I am tired of waiting...I just emailed my case worker for some kind of update....so nerve wreaking

Well, I couldn't wait for Dr, to call me with the news so I took my chances and call my insurance my self just now.... And guess what! I AM APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am now trying to get the in touch with the lady at the Dr. To find out if my surgery date is still set for June 6th. I am so excited I could do cart wheels.... Lol

Ok, So I just got off of the phone with my surgeons office. Pre-Op date is 5/31 and Sugery is set for June 6th.... Wow, 3 weeks away I am super excited and can't wait for my new life to start.

I wish I could figure out how to put one of those weight thingys on my profile, but for some reason I can't figure it out.

I asked my Docs office if I will need to be on a liquid diet before sugery and she said "No" that suprised me, She said just for the 12 hours before sugery not to eat or drink anything.

So I think I am gonna go ahead and buy me some Unjury for after surgery to be prepared. Any body got any other things I can do to get ready for surgery? anything I should buy ect..

June 3rd!! Can't wait. I have my preop appt with dr tomorrow and start liquid diet Monday!! Gonna be eating some good Mexican food this weekend

How are you doing? Who was your dr?

Because of my situation -no insurance, I went to Mexico, Tijuana and had surgery with Dr Quinones. I'm very happy with my care and results. I'm 16 days out and have lost 31lbs including my pre-op diet. I'm right on track and am only working on keeping my wounds clean and they are healing great although I have diabetes.
