Anyone else have a surgery date set for September? Mine is Sept 19.

Just wondering when did u sumbit it?

Mine was supposed to be the 18 but there making me do a extra weigh in and they didn't have any days in October so nov 8 th is new day im pretty disappointed

That sucks why do you have to do another one?

My insurance only has 80 of classes I had to complete so I thought it was 4 months was actually 5 and my last weigh in would be sept 11th and surgery would be 18 but they said it wasn't enough time for approval so I could do end of sept or October but they didn't have ANY days

O I'm sorry hun :-(

:-( sorry! Hang in there

That stinks! I started this whole process May 31, 2011. I didn't realize at the time that with my insurance I had to pay all my surgeon visits up front and wait to be reimbursed after approval! So I had to wait and start over Jan this year. Instead of waiting to submit everything at once, I asked for a copy of everything as I completed it and sent it on my own. I was assigned a bariatric nurse and continued to fax the items in. My final consult with my surgeon was July 10. I received a letter in the mail the 3rd week in July saying it was denied due to my psychological not being done by a psychologist(it was done by a licensed psychological examiner.) Filed grievance, got my approval on Aug 6.

Hang in there.... It will happen! I felt like framing my approval letter! I waited so long from the actual start a year and a half ago! Good luck and keep us posted! God bless....

This totally sucks!

Took me a year and a half to go through all the clearances and appointments I was past due ready to be done. Then I got my sugery scheduled during the busiest time if year at work so I could only take a week off. All of it was worth it!

My surgery date is 9-24-2012 Im nervous but excited at the same time,come on sept.

I also have my surgery scheduled for September.

September 25, 2012. I started my journey April with a seminar. First dr appt with Bluepoint medical group dr Moazzaz april12. Started my three months of classes 4/24 because traffic was so bad I missed my 1st appt the 20th. I had some complications with my appointment schedule because the regular scheduler was out on maternity leave. I was very upset with the office staff but they made it up to me on my final weigh in. I got my " second" md/np appt that very day and they gave me a surgery date of sept 25. That was July 24 2 days before my 51st bday. I actually do not have official insurance approval but they are confident they will get it this week. My doctor wants me to lose 45 lbs before my surgery day so I started seriously getting a handle on my eating by data entering everything I eat in myfitnesspal. Then I did a few days of optifast last week to jump start my low carb diet. Now I am low carb only no sweets. I have lost 8 lbs but I do not have a scale that can weigh me so I don't know if I have lost anymore. Will drop by my drs office and use their scale Monday.

So let's start a september surgery group. Anyone else interested?

September Members??

I am embarrassed to say my wt but I have posted it all over so my start or highest wt is 448 I am 5 ft 71/2 inches tall which makes my bmi 70. I was a little less when I started this process but started a goodbye to food binge that had me gain to my highest wt. I have since started a data entry of all I eat on myfitnesspal that helped me lose 8 lbs. I then did 3 days of optifast and now I am doing low carb meat - protein veggies fruit and no " white" refined sugar, potato , and pasta. I am required to do two weeks of optifast pre op.
