Hows all the November pre sleevers doing? Its pretty quiet in here:) I know my date is right around the corner.. Getting a lil nervous now!

Yes it is getting close!! 5 weeks from today for me :) I go tomorrow to have my pre op (Opti Fast) diet appointment and to purchase my months worth of shakes $500 worth I really hate to pay that much but it's a requirement. I am excited to start the last part of the journey to surgery. I start the diet on Tuesday I believe so I am sure I will be in here posting and complaining about starving to death lol. Hopefully I won't hurt anyone during the first few days!

How's everyone else doing? Anyone have a 4 week diet like me? I can't wait to see everyone come in and update.

Yayyyy I'm scheduled for nov 5th how long dud it take for your approval? I'm waiting its only been a week tho

I just scheduled today for Nov. 4. Hoping work approves my LOA. Getting very nervous.

Mine only took 1 day but I called my insurance company the day it was submitted and I explained my surgery would not be scheduled until they received the insurance approval letter. They called the next day before lunch to let me know it was approved and had been faxed tone drs office.

It wouldn't hurt to call your insurance company tomorrow and find out the status :)

I'm not patient at all but it worked in my favor!

I have a two week liquid diet, which is going to be torture. :(

I have my next appt with the surgeon for all the details of the 2 week diet and all that next tue. Oh I know that's when this will all become very real to me. But I know I'll get through this. My approval took one week.
