Going through my insurance required six month supervised diet. Very anxious for time to pass to get my surgery. I finish in May, so am optimistically looking at June for surgery. Anyone else around my stage? Isn't the wait killing you????

@@DisneyDreaming I'm so sorry that happened to you. If only you knew who that person was, find them and (whether you've had your surgery or not) say "HA! Look at me now, remember me..I think you owe me an apology" and trust me the media heard about the zoo. I was given a free membership for a whole year and I got to go a behind the scenes with the tortoises, I mainly agreed to that because even though that person completely shattered me and the little self esteem I had left, I took both of the things they offered because it is very beneficial for my kids!!!!

@ We are the same height! I am shooting for June 3 also!!

@@LauriTX75 I wish you good luck!!!

I have my prescreen for my EGD on Thursday. I am off work Friday and Monday and I am going to see if I can have it done one of those days so I don't have to take any extra PTO. I hope he can accommodate that.

A month till the surgery actually getting nervous it's coming fast lol

Mine is June 3rd and it isn't coming soon enough lol

I'm having mine done at the hospital I work at in Rowlett tx. I'm nervous too and didn't get a warm response from my mother. My bmi is 38 but I have sleep apnea and I am prediabetic.

Hey! I'm a nurse in Rowlett also! I'm having mine done in Dallas June 18th!

Checking in! Welcome all new June sleevers!! Woo-hoo!! I'm still hoping and praying I'll be on the loser's bench with the rest of you next month! One week from tomorrow is my final appointment of my six month supervised weight loss appts. required by my insurance. After everything is said and done - my case goes to my surgeon and her medical team to deem if I'm a good candidate for WLS.

Once they approve - it's submitted to insurance - let the waiting game begin!! Hopefully I'll be posting good news in a couple of weeks!!

I am scheduled for June 2. I'm excited and nervous. I have my pre-op appointment on May 18, after wards starting my 2 week pre-op diet. Hope you get a date soon!! Good luck!!

@@mclorrie, I'm right there with you. Meet with the Drs on May 26th then they will submit to insurance. I haven't even ever been to the weight loss center. They won't see you until everything is done and they're 99% sure you'll be approved. Fingers crossed.

Paid for my surgery in full today! booked my Plane ticket.....now just the dreadful wait of 23 days!!!

My paperwork was submitted to BCBS Federal on May 5th. I'm hoping for approval soon so that I can get scheduled for June.

@@Nursejlcox seriously?!?!

Tomorrow morning is my last appt with my PCP as part of the 3-month medically supervised diet my insurance requires....yikes, why am I getting so nervous about this whole deal??? It seemed like such a great idea 3 months ago, but I can feel my feet getting colder with each passing day. PLUS the stress of it is showing up in my eating so my pre-surgery weight loss has stopped! Gotta get my mojo back!!!

I just got my surgery date, June 9th! Can't wait. This has been such a long process.
