August 15th

I am having my sleeve done in Slidell, Louisanna on August 15th. I am from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I am so excited and nervous. Can't wait for it to be done!

    Can't wait to hear your progress. I haven't gotten my necessity letter from the doctor yet. I am nervous he won't give me one. Then I don't know what I will do. How long did it take for your insurance to approve you?

    At first it took 2-3 weeks, then the insurance wanted the past five years of doctors notes. It was approved right away then. But I have Medicare, so maybe that made a difference. I had to wait until I got Medicare to get it done. My previous insurance wouldn't pay for it under any circumstances.
