I'm scheduled for surgery August 25th. I was origanally scheduled for July 27th but my insurance was all messed up.

8/18 woo hoo!

well...had a very disappointing day...Even after doing all I was supposed to do losing my 10% and doing the classes I was told to take, I am no longer a "august sleever"! There was a class my program just added and it isn't offered until September so not only do I have to wait to take it it pushes me back until at least the middle of September. I know it is only another month but I cant help being disappointed that I have to wait another month. These last couple of months has gone so slow and I can't help being angry and annoyed at the delay

I'm hoping to be. My nutritionist signed off on me on Friday, and now they need to file for the insurance. I'm hoping for an August sleeve around August 24, but it's going to depend of course, on the insurance (Blue Shield of CA) and the available dates. However, my impression is that the surgeon is not way booked up, and there might be available time then. I've already all of my other pre-visits and tests and bloodword -- just need my presurgical once we have the date.

If I don't manage to get in in August, I have to wait until December, after my school semester ends.

I was done and had to wait a whole month to get schedule I was so angry but finally two weeks left!!!!

I'm getting so nervous for my procedure on Monday!!! And the liquid diet is getting better. I still crave food tho every once in awhile

I can imagine the waiting part sucks:(

BCBS of CA takes 5 business days or less to approve, mine was submitted July 1 and approved the 7th even though they were closed 7/3. It does take them 48 hours after approval to fax it though

Well, the NUT said that the team nurse/insurance coordinator might be a little backed up, and so she probably would not be able to submit it immediately. Also, I don't have BCBS. I have Blue Shield of CA, slightly different provider structure. I don't want to pester the coordinator asking if she's submitted yet -- I suspect it will take them a few days at least.

I got insurance approval quickly after jumping hoops but the top surgeon (my preference) was booked out a bit. Had already met him and had such a good reputation that I felt he is worth the slightly longer wait.

-Sometimes delays are a blessing in disguise. Everday is so much closer to a new me and a new you-we are the faces of tomorrow's before and after pics! Godd luck my peeps!)

I'm scheduled for August 17th ) pretty excited and a little scared but ready for it. We got this! ????

Made it through day one of the pre-op diet-woohoo!!!

Me too I am excited!

Day 6 of the pre op diet for me! My 16 year old and 13 year old are amazed, they both keep saying, "mom I don't know how you are doing that". I'm hungry just watching you!!

That's what I think too

congratulations on losing your 10%!!!! That is such a good thing. And as disappointing on the extra wait is, how do you feel 10% lighter?
