I'm a self pay. My company's insurance does not have an "obesity rider" which allows for approval of the procedure for insurance purposes....early stage company with lots and lots of healthy people, so they felt they didn't need to pay for the rider. With self pay, the wheels do move faster, which I really appreciate. I'm maxing out BLIS insurance so all the various complications are covered for the max period possible. Having spent that money and my luck, all will go swimmingly. That's what I'm hoping!

Congrats to all June sleevers! Nice to meet you and share the journey!

My sleeve surgery is scheduled for June 4th. I'm super excited, but also scared. I will be starting my pre-op Protein Shakes later this week.

Hey, I heard that your taste buds change after surgery so don't buy a lot of Protein shakes... You my start to dislike what you currently like.

I go for my pre-op EGD tomorrow, it's required just to make sure there's no surprises whenever I go for the surgery. Tomorrow marks the exact two week mark until this happens!!!! It's getting so real!!

Hi! I have been surfing the site for a good month now and i find this all educational. I finally have data as well. My surgery will take place on June 17. I have a scheduled Nutritional meeting on June 6th. I hope by then i have an idea what diets i will be going on prior to the surgery. I am excited!

Hello,

I have not received my date yet but I just found out that they have submitted to the inusrance already and are waiting for the approval. I have anthem blue cross, i heard the approval process is easy with them . She said that my preop will be scheduled as soon as they get that approval and a week after that preop appt would be the surgery. so it looks like the begining to mid june for me. I am getting nervous, scared and anxious.

Seems June 4th is a popular date! I'm having my sleeve done on this day as well. Started my two week pre-op diet on day 2. It's hasn't been that hard. 4shakes a day with up to 5 additional items like sf Jello, pudding, Soup and veggies. I realize just how much head hunger I really have! I am slightly nervous, but more excited on this journey for a healthy mind and Body! And it won't be bad to look as great as you feel! This is a very exciting time and I'm so ready to get it going!

I'm not having trouble with the diet during the day BUT when I get home from work is when the hunger sets in.... A friend of mine who went through the pre op process with me had her surgery on April 18, and she has lost a total of 47 pounds...which includes her pre op weight loss. Pretty amazing huh?
