Officially Approved!

It's official I have been approved by my insurance to have my sleeve done on July 31. And it's a good thing they said yes quickly cause im on day 6 of pre op diet and didn't want to be doing it in vain.

I've got an appt 2morrow... All clearances... Not sure what to expect yet. Hmm

Usually after your approved you just need to get blood work done and an endoscopy before the surgery. Good luck!

Thanks good luck to you 2! I'm so ready :)

Well I told my doctor that I need to get this done before I started a new job so helped me. He literally looked in his calendar and said July 25 let's get everything done by then and so I did.

Wow... That's Awesome!

Yes the surgeons office does that just tell them you need it done ASAP

Congrats and good luck!!

The bloodwork called me one morning and said can you come in today. And I did cause I didn't eat anything. And the endoscopy is always scheduled a week from your surgery

I'm in CT. Not all surgeons do the endoscopy but most good doctors do. So they know what they are working with
