I started my journey in May, and have done all my labs, psychology appointments, nutrition appointments, workshops everything! Now the wait. Everyone my phone rings I jump up so excited to see it's just a friend or husband lol. I'm so impatient....anyone else with this problem?

Yes, I have an appt with my surgeon on Monday. Finished all my consults, now I go see him on Monday and then have to wait the insurance. I'm scared to death they won't cover it. I think they are the most nerve wracking. Good Luck with your date!!!

Thanks to too!

I'm here with you. I just completed my last month on the supervised diet that my insurance required me to do. Now I'm just waiting to be seen by my surgeon and the insurance decision. I'm soooooo nervous that the insurance company will deny me as well. But I'm hopeful.

I am playing the waiting game as well... My surgeons office just submitted all the paperwork to the insurance so I am just waiting for approval so we can move forward... I just wanna get this done... Sorry that was bit of a whine.... Good luck to you all and may everyone's insurance say yes!

I was all set to go. I had completed all of the required tests and classes and had my surgery date set for July 30th and BAM!!! My doctor is not in my network? How can that happen if I've been seeing him for months? Still trying to work it out! So frustrating. Makes me think about giving up on the whole thing!

I was so there just a few weeks ago. I obsessively checked my email and phone. It took 2 weeks to get my stuff submitted and 2 weeks for approval. I never thought it would come, but it did, and Aug 27th is around the corner.

I know this feeling all too well! I'm normally pretty patient, but this is nerve wracking!

My approval is done so I'm just waiting for the office to call me with a date. Talk about hard! I wish they'd just tell me when they think they'll call so every morning I don't wake up expecting my phone to ring.

Good luck to you! It's almost here!

I was in limbo for about 2 months. I had everything done but my PCP, changed practices before my letter was faxed to the surgeon. I had to wait till he was in his new practice, and have an appointment with him and get him to get my medicial release out. All this while working 60 hours a week drinking Protein shakes for 2 meals a day.

It is all in the past and I have my date for August 6th. I'm ready for my sleeve, and some time off from work. Woot woot!
