Hey, Bethzy good luck in your appointment! Why u can't do shakes? Well, today its one week of my surgery, I feel better, and lose 10 pounds. I want to advanced to the stage 3 of the diet, but my nut told me yesterday that try to eat every 2 hours to control my hunger.... a lil better.... Bethzy what os ur name in mfp? Or send me a message, I can't recognize you! Have a bless day everyone!

I called my insurance company on Monday, 9/23, to check the status of my claim and received verbal confirmation of my approval. I was told my case was reviewed on 9/18 and approved. The case was submitted by my doctor's office on 9/11. Ins. co. told me they left a voice mail with my doctor's office on 9/18 with the decision and a written confirmation was mailed out the same day.

I hope the letter arrive today since my doctor's office does not give you an official date until they have the written letter. They do this to make sure that the surgical code on the letter is correct and the ins. co. approved you for the correct surgery.

When I heard I was approved, I felt a flutter in my chest or my heart dropping to my stomach. Hearing the words you are approved made it very real for me and the surgery was no longer a distant unknown date in the future. For me the feeling was very similar to having my first pregnancy confirmed by the doctor. i was pretty sure I was, but until you have it confirmed by a medical professional there is some doubt.

I am planning to attend my pre and post-op nutrition class on Monday, September 30, and have my last visit with my surgeon on October 4th.

I have two remaining tests left which will be a piece of cake to complete. They are a chest x-ray and lab work.

I know surgery is the right choice, but I am also a little nervous. My date could be as soon as 10/8. As of 9/24, it was still open. If my surgery does not happen on 10/8, I will have to wait until 10/25 due to work commitments.

I am a revision surgery patient. My lap band will be removed and my sleeve surgery performed in the same surgery.

Congratulations to everyone who has received their approval, had their surgery already, or have a surgery date coming up.

Good luck with your weight loss journey.
