I talked to the insurance company and they have my paperwork so I hope to get a call this week. It looks like the first week of February for me...but no date yet.

I just got my insurance approval today so now I am just waiting on the surgeon's office to get the approval and schedule the labs to get a date. They said they could have me in for labs within a week of getting the approval so hopefully I will be sleeved early February!

Had my phone apt with UHC nurse Rebekah from Minnesota. Very nice lady. She said I met all criteria. Only thing left for me was to meet with the Dr, do a psych eval, and any labs the KC Bariatrics center required. She anticipated I would be sleeved in 2 months or less. YAY ME!!

I'm in my first month of supervised diet, can't wait for the months to pass. I've lost about 15 in the last three weeks. Anyone else just starting their journey?

Not until late October or early November for me, I need to wait for my 12 month waiting period with my insurance to be up

My pre-op visit is Feb 2 and I have a weekend getaway planned for Valentine's Day, so I am hoping for the beginning of March. That should give me enough time for the pre-op diet and I will hopefully be recovered and feeling good by the time the kids go on spring break.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
