July sleevers! Are we ready!

[penman53 492]

Call the insurance company and inquire as to if they received all necessary paper work and if they had made a decision yet. I've noticed that the people who are inquiring get a faster notice.?? Just a suggestion

I did and found out that my appeal was approved, I got a call from my doctors office yesterday and I am having my sleeve on the 24th of July. I go to my pre op nutrition class and my last doctors visit after the class. Looks like my surgery is finally a go thanks for the advise.

What Vitamins did you purchase? I don't know if I will be able to chew any vitamins....yuck!

Your life will depend on it.

Celebrate has two that taste ok. Orange and berry. I purchased Centrum chewables. They were on sale.

Check out drugstore.com. They sell liquid forms of all the supplements we need. They are made by wellsse.

Call the hospital and find out what time they put you on the schedule. What a rotten deal for them not to call you back. I think medical people are becoming so bad about practicing patient care. It is long gone

Heres an update. I called Blue Cross yesterday they told me that my surgery was approved and was in the system. I should be recieving the letter in a few days. I called my doctors office and they have me scheduled for the 22nd of July. I will start my 10 day preop diet next week. I am so excited and ready for this. I want to lose weight so bad and get back in shape so I can enjoy my retirement. Wish me luck

I'm right there with you. Did all my pre-op testing. Ready to start my pre-op 2week liquid diet. Can't wait to unleash my skinny girl trapped in this body!

My surgery date is July 5th' date=' but I don't know what time because the scheduler never called me back today! I am stressed because tomorrow is a holiday so I'm not sure how I will get the info. Clear liquids of Fourth of July![/quote']

You should have been given a number to call. Try to call yourself.

Try not to worry! Hospitals don't take holidays! Somebody will likely call you today!

I don't have my surgeon consultation until Tuesday, but I just ordered myself an abdominal binder from Amazon liked I used after a c-section and a hernia repairb/c i felt like it made recovery faster. it's just a big, firm, elastic, velcro girdle that supports your stomach. I hope the surgeon says it's OK!

We will rock it!! Where are you having surgery and your current stats?

I am 5'9" and 331 pounds...having my surgery at Penn State Hershey Medica Center in PA. I am aiming for 170-180 for my goal weight! I've never been lower than 245 in my adult life and was well over 330 during high school. I'm ready to shed this baggage once and for all!

Where will you have surgery?
