Hello, my insurance (BCBS) required the 6 months supervised weight loss plan. I am on month 3 have 3 more to go. I think my last check in will be around January 21, 2014; which means once they submit all my information to BCBS I will be looking forward to a February surgery date. I have everything done but my medical letter from my physician and the blood work. If it wasn't for this 6 months requirement I probably would have been sleeved before the end of 2014. But that's fine and I am patient; I have gotten this far no need to rush things now. Plus all the holidays will be over and done with. The only thing is, I think my husband and I will miss our annual trip to Pigeon Forge, TN with our friends; but this will be worth it. Just looking for someone I can talk to about this journey we are all looking forward to taking.

I keep telling myself, you made it through summer 2014 as a big girl. The summer of 2015 will be wonderful, I will healthy, full of energy and don't let me forget....I will be FINE....lol!!!!

Yes!! I will have my surgery march 11 2015. I'm so excited I am a cash pay patient so I am waiting on saving my money so I also have to be patient !! At least I have a date, it makes it more real. Good luck to you and may your journey be filled with peace and joy☺

I'll probably be sleeved in late January or early February. I'm with True Results in St. Louis and they will send in my documents for approval in early December and estimate my surgery will be in January. However, I won't have my vacation until January 21st so it will have to be some time after that.

Hi Scorpiosleever, congratulations you are well on your way. I still have a 3 months to go on the required 6 months supervised weight loss program. Hopefully our surgery date will not be that far apart from each other.

Congratulations Nikkidoodlebug, will you be having the surgery here in the states are will you be traveling to Mexico.

I will be sleeved inMarch 2015. I am on month two of my six month required diet.

Great SleeveHopeful777 how's everything going with the required weight lost program

It's going well! I love the program I am in,just wishing I could do this quicker. However since I know it's a life long change I keep reminding myself six months is pretty short compared to life:)

I also have BCBS and I'm thinking I will be sleeved in February as well. I have my "month three" check-in this week and my behavioral class the first week of November. I still have to do a support group meeting and labs this month also. Add me as a friend, I would love to talk to others who will have surgery around the same time as me!
