After waiting patiently and nervously for 3 1/2 long weeks, I received a call today from my surgeon's secretary telling me that I've been approved for the Gastric Sleeve surgery yaaaaay!!!!! I'm so excited and nervous at the same!!!! My surgery is scheduled for June 24th!!! Please save a seat for me on the loser's bench!!!!!

What kind of insurance do you have if you don't mind saying

Aetna and Tricare, but tricare does not cover the sleeve yet. My guess is that they will eventually, but they have been slow to add weight loss surgeries to what they cover. They cover other procedures like lap and, but The band is not for me.

@etamluosym: Omg!!!!!That was super fast!!!!! Congratulations!!!! Did u get your date yet???

Yes, I had my sleeve on May 26!

Just finished with endo. Now they send to insurance! Will gave my date anytime
