Hey, I'm from Ga. I haven't been sleeved yet, hoping to get my surgery date for next month after my endoscopy. What about you?

[re14768 72]

Not yet sleeved, insurance required 6mnths diet. Hope to have surgery April/ May 2014.

Wow, that's a boomer, so what month are you on? Who is your doctor and what side of town do you live in? Well if I was you the closer to the six months deadline I would start getting my psych eval done, start going to some support groups, go ahead and get your labs done...include a Tsh, glucose, Iron, hpylori breath test, cholesterol and a complete metabolic test. If you can go ahead and get a endoscopy done right at the six months that would be better. This way once the dieting is over and you have everything else done the doctor can submit to the ins and they can give you a surgery date sooner.

I'm in Lawrenceville area, I had all my testing done already. Only thing remaining is psychology evaluation. Haven't schedule that yet...also I have to attend at least 1 support group meeting. Next month will be my 3rd diet visit with nutritionist at surgeon office. I also have to let my pcp know knows I'm seeking WLS so hopefully he writes me a letter of medical necessity.

Wow...I'm so amazed at the list of things ppl have to do before they get approved. I'm so happy my ins company didn't ask for all of that. Also I'm in Stockbridge.

Hi all, I'm in McDonough and waiting for surgery date. Who is your surgeon? I am very nervous.

I'm in Marietta - will have the Sleeve this Wednesday - No Turkey Day for me. I am getting super nervous (not to mention hungry since I'm on liquids only).

Wow, I'm sure you are hungry, but it's almost over. I'm so not ready for the liquid diet but I'm trying to get my mind ready for it. I had some Soup today in an 8 oz cup, um. At least you will be in the hospital on Thanksgiving so you won't be tempted to taste any food. Good luck and please keep us posted on your progress.

I liked that I had the option! Hopefully you make your goal for April/ May!!!!! The hardest part is waiting for insurance to approve it. I waited almost 2 months for an approval!!! But good luck to you and hopefully u don't have any insurance issues!
