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????

@@cmhueto Thank you, I am thinking it won't be so bad since I will only being doing liquids (thicker liquids) up to that day. I may wean myself off thick liquids over the next few days.

I completely understand! While I am at work I am constantly offered cupcakes, cakes, tacos, bagels, chips and dips, sandwiches...it's never ending. there is some sort of party here at least once a week. It's really difficult!

We (YOU) can do this!!

Day 2 of pre-op diet. Surprisingly not even craving sweets. It's national donut day and I was able to walk past them at work and not even flinch. Can wait for June 18t to get here. Ready for my sleeve and my new life!

I am being sleeved on June 18th as well. Day 5 of my pre-opt diet. Have done pretty well so far. Had a mental warfare day on Wednesday but stuck to the plan.

I walked into work today and the lady in line in front of me (we have to go through security) was holding 2 giant boxes of dounts for National Donut Day. I didn't even entertain the thought of cheating. YAY ME!! There might be some will power left in me after all

I am ready for my sleeve and my new life as well. Good luck to you.

wooohooo! had my final insurance appt friday and I am scheduled for June 23. I start the 2 week liquid diet tomorrow which I know will be tough but I am just so excited that it is finally here! I had a mini food funeral this weekend, but was really good about portions and didn't binge so it was a nice sign that things are moving in a positive direction.

June 23rd for me too! On day 2 of pre op diet

Have you had your surgery yet? Mine is scheduled for tomorrow. This has been the longest day just thinking about what I have to look forward to. I am so ready!

I am getting so nervous! Friday @ 7:30am!! I am on day 6 of my preop diet. I just want it over with so the nerves will go away!

Tomorrow morning is my surgery! I have waiting and worked so hard to get to this point. Wish me luck!

@@mespo Good luck! You're going to do great!

630 am tomorrow home stretch

This goes for all of us!! Here I go in just a few hours I begin my journey RENEWED!!!

I thought my surgeon's office submitted my paperwork to insurance company for final approval last week. I called yesterday to check status. The coordinator hadn't even sent it yet! Failed to mention they needed a letter from me stating why I wanted surgery, and also a letter from my PCP as to why I should have surgery. They NEVER told me those requirements 2 months ago. Geeeeesh.

I'm in the same boat. They told me "you're done with your insurance requirements and we can submit it" then AFTER I pay the giant program fee they tell me that that was true, but the surgeon requires things and they won't submit to insurance until he has all of this junk. This is stuff I've noticed other people having long after they got a surgery date. If I didn't want this so much I'd give up.

Same here my Doctor was to submitt my prior Authorization Friday June 5 I called insurance yesterday to check and they had nothing on file so I e mail my surgeons PA and she has yet to reply and let me know why she stated it had been submitted but the insurance has nothing to review. I am so nervous and driving myself insane I need this so badly but I keep dreaming I get denied this is so nerve racking I was more calm and had less anxiety about giving birth.

Hello everyone..My date is June 17th this is my first pre-op day im doin well ive done 1 shake today ill have another soon.. Im excited for next wed howeva saddened at the same time I will be missing my daughters graduation ????????

Glad to see I'm not the only one who watches videos on people's sleeve journeys . It has really helped me prepare myself what is hopefully around the corner for myself. Finishing my 6 month diet on Friday and then my scope on Monday hopefully surgery in July
