Hi all! Just getting started-still in the pre-appointment stages and just curious to know if anyone else is using Transformations at River Oaks in Flowood, MS? Thanks for your time.

definitely first available--trying to beat a new year and new deductable!! but we can still hope for the same day!

Absolutely! I've spent too much not to lol.

so, sugarush, are you going to opt for River Oaks instead of CMMC? I sure was glad to hear that it is an option. I had never even heard of CMMC before they told me that is probably where I would go.

Just heard from Paige !! I'm approved! Phase 2 testing tomorrow morning at 9! I asked her about using river oaks. She said that the information I received was incorrect and I had to use cmmc unless I had another insurance. I'm ok with that now. I've come too far to turn around. So I should have a date by the end of the week!!! If I could do backflips it would right now!

That's great! It will fly by now!

OH! I'm jealous!!! Pretty sure they did not fax my psych over until late yesterday afternoon. That could be the reason I haven't heard anything yet! That sure was fast for you to get approval!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!

You have a surgery date posted for 9/30--is that for reals? I can not even begin to say how anxious I am right now hoping Paige will call this morning!!!!!! Did you do anything in addition to the Active Health thing to qualify? I mean, did you have to turn in documented attempts for a number of months, etc?? I'm so nervous I won't get approved for some reason. I've done Active Health since the first of January.

OK so I found out this morning that Paige did not receive my psych eval yet. So, called the psych office, requested they fax it again and this time, requested a copy faxed to me too. At least if Paige does not get it from them, she can get it from ME! ..................................while contemplating this, got a call from Paige, she received her copy and I have been submitted to insurance for pre-cert. WOOT WOOT! Now, the wait begins again. I hope it goes as quickly as yours sugarush!!! Hope all of your phase 2 testing is going well today. Let us hear from you when you feel like it!

My phase 2 testing was easy peasy! It only took about 20 mins after checking in. The abg i was a littler nervous about because im usually a hard stick but she was a pro! Hopefully you hear from Paige tomorrow or friday. I know she told me this after noon, if i couldnt have surgery on the 11/4 then i would have to move to december. Dr cummins was filled for the rest of the month for the sleeve option.

ok so, I just got a phone call to schedule an EGD with GI Associates. The lady said that Paige instructed her that it must be completed 2 weeks prior to surgery and gave her a date of November 4th---SOOOOOOOO, I'm thinking that maybe she is shooting for that date for me?? Since we both have BCBS state employee plan, I am hoping above all hope that I will get approved too!! I had to submit the same things you did. So ready to get this on the road!

That's great news Crissy! Sounds like we have the same date! I don't think they would set a date without an approval so sounds like you were approved! Do you know the date of your education class? Mine is October 8th since the 1st was kinda crowded.

Talked to Paige--submitted for approval and she is just proceeding like they are going to approve it and planning on a surgery date of November 4th--no official word as of this moment though. She did go ahead and schedule me for the edu class on October 8th! So, we'll get to meet face to face! And we'll be sleeve sisters with the same surgery date!! They better look out!

Looks like my surgery date is moving. I don't have any details yet. I think my heart has shattered into a million pieces. Looking at the first of January now. Worse day of my life is today.

Oh no! Don't give up--it's just a couple months. I know paying the deductible again is horrible and it is not something I would be happy about---but, they haven't said NO--just LATER.

OK so it's official--I'm APPROVED!!! Surgery date November 4th!! Phase 2 testing next Wednesday!
