finally after all that running around I got a date. Im scheduled for January 20th, 2014 with Dr Koshy at St Lukes Hospital. Thats in NY. I was expecting a sooner date but he will be on vacation on December.

I am so glad to finally have my date. what about you guys? anyone else has a date for January?

Share it!

I'm so excited! I'm getting sleeved January 20 by Dr. alejandro lopez in Tijuana, Mexico! He operates out of Hospital MI Doctor if anyone else is going to be there! Let's meet up!

I haven't been having real food funerals or anything but I haven't lost anything either. I scheduled my final pre-op nutrition class and appointment with the surgeon for Dec 23rd! So soon. I am more stressed about the pre-op diet than anything but at least it is only 10 days, and liquids only for the final 4 days.....

Just got the call today that I was approved!!! So excited!! I meet with the surgeon Thursday for consult and to pick a date!!!

I'm hoping to join you all! Paperwork went to insurance late November. Apparently they are still in need of clinic medical necessity information from my surgeon. AND he's lagging on getting it! I have been e-mailing the office manager but not getting a response. So frustrating! They are normally so good, not sure what is going on. Regardless we are planning on January surgery, so hoping insurance gets what they need soon and will approve.
