October 2014

Anyone else scheduled in October? Let's stay in touch during this process!

I have to take one more informational class. Have an EGD done and do a 2 week liquid only diet.

During the the diet I have to drink the doctor's Protein drinks. Hope they are good!

I was hoping for October as I finished classes today but was told October was booked and so was November .. So October is out for me :( End of December or January

If you have approval or pretty sure you are getting it, ask the doctor to put you on a waiting list. Sometime due to health reasons or insurance reasons cancellations happen and you could be moved up. Doesn't hurt to ask ;) Good luck!

I see the surgeon Thursday, Sept. 11th, I'm hoping for late October of early November at the latest. Wish me luck!

Good luck!!!!

i expect to be sometime in October, but i won't get my date until after the insurance approves... which means after my endoscopy/colonoscopy next week, and after my last weigh in the week after, and after the surgeon's office submits me for insurance approval. the waiting sucks!! lol

pre-op, i have to do 4 days of liquid only.

The waiting does suck! Hopefully it will all move very quickly for you. I was stunned how fast my approval came back. Good luck!

I got my approval last Friday morning and got scheduled for October 21st. I have so many emotions, happy, nervous, excited, all of it. Now that I have a date it is getting more and more real. I have to do a two week liquid diet, that's going to be tough.

I got my approval today and am also scheduled for October 21st. Keep in touch. Lets help each other through this!

Awesome! Congrats!

Congrats to those who just got their approvals!! Prayers for those who are waiting for approval :)

I'm hoping for October. I am just waiting for ins approval then I can get a date. Will probably be November though
