Anyone know if this is a secret group? I've only told a few folks I'm having surgery don't want this showing up my my groups list or comments.

I am November 6! Started my liquid diet today.

Me too

Today is my 3rd day on the 2 week pre op diet. I have lost 7 pounds as of this morning. YAY! Im doing good, Hungry yes but still Im ok! Good luck everyone starting today. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Nov. 8. Start my pre-op the 28.

I just got the call that my paperwork was submitted to insurance today!!! The waiting game begins... My coordinator says that they usually wait 7 business days before they follow up with insurance so I'm on pins and needles. That will be Nov. 1st. You can bet though, that I'll be calling my insurance on Monday just to make sure they got it! I'm not patient!!!

I'm really hoping to be a member of the Nov. club, but I'm thinking I'll likely be a Dec or Jan sleever...

If its any encouragement...my stuff was submitted via fax to BCBS of Tx on the 15th, and I was approved by the 21st (they faxed approval to my surgeon's office), and we scheduled my surgery on the 22nd (yesterday!) I did call my insurance on the 18th to be sure they got everything. I recommend doing that just to be sure they received it and no time is wasted! I'm scheduled for November 6th! Keep us updated on your progress! I know it's pretty much impossible to be patient!

Wow that's FAST!!! I'd better get my co-pay together!

My appeal has been denied, so am going to exit the group. All my best wishes for all of you.

Oh no!!! Anything else they can do? Possibly self pay in MX?

Hey there Wolverine Girl!

My surgery is 11.12.13 as welll! Where are you having yours done? Mine's in GR with GHP. Perhaps we can keep tabs on one another since we are going through this at the same time.

I start my pre-op diet next Tuesday. It's pre-packaged food and snacks that equate to between 800-900 calories per day. I'm getting nervous and excited!

Take care,

Susan.

Anyone know if this is a secret group? I've only told a few folks I'm having surgery don't want this showing up my my groups list or comments.

Hey there. I had the same concerns, but I joined the group anyway. I logged in as my husband to see if would show and it did show "recent groups" that I had joined. So I left the group until I can figure out privacy settings so that no one can see the group. It's a very active group and it seems to provide a lot of valuable information but I only plan on sharing this information with those closest to me and not my "68 friends" on FB.

If anyone knows of the settings I need to apply for it not to show at all to anyone, please let me know. I;d like to re-join but only if it is truly private and confidential.

I created a new FB account (LISSA VSG) for all my vsg friends, groups, posts, pics, journey. I'm not going to share with my other FB peeps either!
