Hi all. I am new here. I just got my acceptance letter today from my insurance!!!! I faxed it to my scheduler and will wait until morning to find out my sleeve date. I am so stinking excited!!!! Any advice for me? I know my hospital stay is a overnight stay so I am not worried about that. I just don't know when to expect the surgery. I was never told about any special diet pre-op so should I expect that to come tomorrow after scheduler calls? I have heard there is a two week all liquid pre-op diet. Is that correct? I have been to the nutritionist and know what to expect afterward....just not before!!!!

That is super exciting!! I remember getting my approval letter...I couldn't believe it at first that I had to read it twice..lol. Regards to the pre op diet/ 2 week liquid diet...all doctors are different and require different pre op and sometimes post op requirements, they should be told to you soon, probably when you get your date!!

Anyways, congrats! And good luck starting an exciting journey! If you want to chat or ask questions to me, feel free to PM me, I respond to them ASAP

Thanks a bunch! I am so excited I can't sleep. I can't imagine my world changing so soon!!!!!

congratulations! I am still in the process. Waiting on sleep study results because that will decide if I can have the surgery since my bmi is under 40 my insurance requires two comorbidities, I already have high bp. I am meeting with my surgeon again tomorrow because the first time we discussed the lap band and then I changed my mind to the sleeve. I know about not sleeping, ever since my sleep study I have been all screwed up because I didn't sleep a wink that night and then slept the whole next day. I hope my surgeon has the results tomorrow. I am so ready to do this! Let us know when your surgery date is.

I had the sleep study and the findings..........I do not sleep. But my BMW is 46. I am 279 and take high Bp meds. My doc also prescribed metaphormin(sp?) which a pre diabetes med. I faxed over the acceptance letter tonight so I hope to have the date tomorrow morning!!!!! I can't believe it is finally happening
