Anyone for sleeve in December?

Just got my date, Dec 10th!

Aside from waiting 2 more months, I think December is an awesome month to have it done. What a way to start the new year!

My date is also 3 weeks after my 45th birthday, so it will be a great birthday present to myself also. Perhaps I will go in and pay the hospital/surgeon fees on my birthday to make it my official present.

Congratulations mike!

My birthday is December 29th!

Well then that makes you my Cosmo twin, Roells7!

Haleylhs be careful with weightloss before. Ins are very different so yours may be nothing like mine. However I just saw my nut on Thursday and was told don't lose any weight until I'm approved because my ins requires 40+ bmi and I drop to 41. But again I don't know if you have any other medical conditions. Just thought I would fyi because I would have never thought about that. :-)

Congrats, Mike! I can't wait to get my date. I have completed all required test. Now just waiting to complete the 6 mo insurance requirement for weight through my pcf.

Take care!

Hey what's up with the six month weight loss , I thought insurance got rid of that requirement? Mine was easy and I'm 37 bmi

What ins co do you have? I have United Health care! They are telling me that they require it!

From other threads I am in.. I think almost every ins is different lol mines a 40+ bmi (35 if you have other medical conditions ) and a 3 month program nevada co-op here (heard bcbs is a hard one)

Ca blue cross, I have mild hypertension it took me less than a month after tests , the longest wait is waiting for surgical date ????

My surgery is 12/11!!! Im counting down

Good for you! Good luck!!

Lets just hope the surgery goes well for all of us with out complications. Hope Ludwig does a great job and back to work in 2 weeks after.

I am scheduled for December 2nd with Dr. Smolik in Des Moines, Iowa.

I'm good ☺ going a little nuts and wish time would fly. Have 2nd appt with surgeon this Friday psych on the 21st and 2nd nut on the 31st. Will set my tummy camera appt friday with surgeon and hopefully will be submitting to ins by the 2 week of nov. Cant loose any weight which is driving me nuts because I'm at my HW ever and have NO jeans that fit. And I have days to quit smoking. I have to stop in the next 2 days for sure I just don't know how. How's are the rest of dec sleeves doing?

Ok so I called ins today to make sure I knew for sure what was required. A little worried about the weightloss part. But surprised that the esophagoscopy is not a requirement for ins
