I'm so excited for you! Mine has been with BCBS for 10 days. Dying to get mine scheduled. Sounds like we may have similar timing!! Good luck to you!

Very happy for you! Insurance denied me and I'm waiting for my surgeon to have a Peer-to-Peer review. Keeping my fingers crossed.

skinniminiwannabe,

I was shocked when I got my approval. It Just happened so fast I didn't expect it. I'm off to surgery on Monday. 4 days to go. Since then I've been addicted to youtube and all things sleeve.

Congratulations on your approval,

Jenn

At Jenn yeah that's all I've done for the last month since I decided I wanted to do this. Pintrest, YouTube, here, on and on . I was told with my insurance it normally takes about two weeks, now if the surgery schedulers would only take that long I was hoping today was the day they would call, but no such luck! Hopefully tommorrow.

I got my approval and scheduled for June 24th. I've been driving myself crazy on Pinterest, You Tube and weight loss sites. At this rate, I'll have myself talked out of surgery before I get it.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
