I'm so excited for the people who have their dates coming up soon! ???????? I went to see my surgeon yesterday, all the paperwork is in order and they sent it to the insurance company. Because I'm planning on traveling abroad in 10 weeks, I have to start the pre-op diet on Monday. My surgeon wants 8weeks between. I'm soooooo excited. I'll be more excited to get a definitive date!

I am soooo excited got my surgery date today for March 13th!!!!!!

Congrats! I'm being sleeved on 3/20!

Unfortunately I still don't have a date. I was originally scheduled for Jan, but because my protein was too low I had to wait a whole month to increase my protein to normal, and was looking at a Feb surgery date. Now it's looking like it's going to be March because of my stupid protein still being too low. Went from 6 to 8 months of waiting for a freaking surgery date...smh

  • 2 weeks later...

I finally had my first consult on Monday - got my date... 8 December 2015. Yeah, that's only about 292 days away... It's gonna be a loooong year.

Received my date-February 26th! Going tomorrow for my pre-op appt, then next Wednesday for the post-op diet appointment. I went to Costco today and picked up Premier Protein shakes and gummy vitamins. Tomorrow after the pre-op, I'll get SF jello and SF puddings. I'm so excitd. It's been a long time coming.

I haven't had my consult yet but I'm actually hoping for October. I don't really want to wait that long but if I do it in October then me and my husband will make our insurance deductible late enough that next year when I have to do follow up visits we won't have to worry about a deductible.

I meet with my surgeon March 2 , I'm praying he gives me a date of mid to late March. I don't won't to wait until April .... My high school reunion is July/august so I want to be ready for that.

Happy to move on to the next step.....Finally received my date..Pre-op April 7th.. surgery date April 21st.

This process has been very quick for me so far!

First appointment with True Results: February 11th

True Results submitted info to Insurance: February 13th

Called to confirm they received case: February 17th (confirmed)

Now just waiting for an approval! I'm being told I shouldn't have an issue getting approved and that I should hear back in about 15 days, and I should expect a March surgery date! Eek!

Just an fyi...We all should be taking vitamins anyway. Whether you get the sleeve, bypass, lap band or any other weight loss surgery. We should be taking vitamins. Even if you aren't having surgery you should be taking vitamins. I heard a lot of people speak against the bypass due to one of the reasons being dependent on supplements for the rest of your life, but technically shouldn't we be doing that anyway??? Is that such a bad thing???

I don't have the answer.. but once you are back to a normal calorie range (i.e. not under 1000calories a day) you should really be absorbing it through food (with the sleeve).. That's my own perception.

Hi everyone!

I am also unsure of my date. I just started the process early Feb and seems to be moving along quickly..I might get approval from insurance for June/July if everything goes well. But I can epect surgery anytime from June-Oct I think.... YIKES!!!

Good luck everyone!

Hope to have mine in March. I know it's approved because I've called the insurance company. But the Dr office today.

Sorry the Dr office doesn't know yet.
