Well.....six months of waiting has finally come to an end:) My doctors office has submitted all the paperwork to my insurance company. I'm so nervous right now. All I can do is be positive and hope that they approve me. I'm 233 pounds and my height is 5'4 so I'm just there with the 40 bmi. I have zero health problems. Hence why I'm so worried that I won't be approved. How ever I do want this with all my heart!!! I believe in the power of good thoughts bring positive things. I'm just finding it hard right now to stay positive:(

From your lips to Gods ears! (as they say) I am hopeful I have some wonderful mentors who have been through it, and are coaching me.

Thank you:) I wasn't asked by my doctor to do it, but started one on my own . I have been doing it for 6 day's. Just want to make sure I get my body used to it. I also want to lose as much as possible before the surgery. Current weight is 229. My goal weight is 135-140.

Congradulations! Good luck girl. Let us know when your surgery date is.

im getting the single incision sleeve,thru my belly button so my dr wants me on 14 day liquids to shrink the liver.i have lost 4lbs tho since Monday!!!

Have you had your surgery? I'm planning on having the single incision as well. If so how did it go ?

I have UHC too! I'm in the middle of my six months! I'm hoping I get approved. I am the same height and weight but I do have high blood pressure. Good luck to you!

I'm waiting on my approval. Dr office submitted my paperwork on Thursday ... The wait is real!????! I called today and they stated it was processing . Not sure what that means....keep me in prayer everyone. surg date 12/1/14
