Hi my name is Jackie from Miami fl! My surgery is scheduled April 2 and I am super nervous! I hope I get the approval from the insurance... My fiancé doesn't talk about my surgery at all unless I mention something about it. In definitely looking for others to talk to about my journey.

I live just North of Tampa and will be having WLS near the end of April. Can't wait to have the exact surgery date! I am nervous and excited to start this journey!

I live in New Orleans. Mine is April 7th

Depends on the day. Hoping for a date in april so my kids will be in school. Cross your fingers. Good luck to you all too

Hi butterfly! Lol it's great u love so close maybe we can become WLS buddy's !! I'm at the hospital not waiting to get my chest x rays done. I have appointments all these week and my paperwork will be submitted to insurance on Monday. I start my liquid diet march 19 and that is what I am super nervous about! I want to succeed so bad! I hope everything gets approved because I am so ready to start a new chapter!!

Yea I am excited. But I won't get really scared till I see the operating room. That's wat happened to me wen I had my son i had a c section and I was calm till then.

My surgery is scheduled for April 16th. Join the April 2014 sleevers board on bariatricpal as there are more people there! Wow- I can't imagine going through all of this process and only knowing a few days/weeks before your date if insurance will approve the surgery! I guess because Kaiser provides the coverage and care both, I knew I could have the wls as soon as I was accepted to the bariatric program. There is plenty I don't like about Kaiset, but they have an awesome bariatric program! Can't wait to follow everyone on their journey!

Also I didn't get a date until I got approved. I got approved march 5th and I called my ins company and that's how I found out. I don't know when my insurance company was gonna contact me but I was calling them like crazy. Lol

Hey Jessica! I just went to the seminar first week in feb and I'm already scheduled! What insurance did u have?

I could cry my doctor office won't schedule my surgery until after its approved wish I had known this before hand then I would have went to my friends doctor office they give you a date one month before you finish with your visit just in case the insurance is quick to approve so you can have your surgery right away but you do have to allow for the 2 week diet...

Yes my dr offices booked the surgery my first appt. they expect insurance to go through... I start my liquid diet march 19th even if I don't know if I'm approved. I hope it goes through its so freakin close!
