That gives me hope insurance if they received my authorization yesterday so just waiting to hear back so anxious!!

Doesn't help they told me can take 5 days and they're closed Thursday and Friday

I called my insurance at 12:30 to ask if they had received the packet and they said they did have it, and at 1:30 my surgical coordinator emailed me to say that my surgery was approved. I'm guessing that once they had to look at it because I called they just went ahead and approved it. Doesn't hurt to call them and give a little shove!

My surgery date is Dec 8th! So excited!

Mine is also. Where are you located?
Fort Worth Texas!

Neat! I use to live in Plano. I miss the area. I have to be at the hospital at 6am surgery scheduled for 10am. The agony of waiting. Let's stay in touch even though we are miles apart.

Just got my surgery date today!! January 20th it is!!!!! I am so happy and excited.

I am set for 12.8! I was lucky and was not required to have a supervised diet, but I also haven't lost anything, so am disappointed in myself. It's ok thought - the date is set, and I'm excited to get back to the life I enjoy. It's so hard to imagine that 100 pounds can sneak up on a person, but that's exactly what has happened to me, like so many others.

How exciting! I'm a 12/08/2015 also. It's getting close. Such a great gift for the holidays :)

Hi All The latest update on my testing. I had the breathing test yesterday. The one giving me the test kept making me do it over and over again. She also gave me 2 shots of an inhaler and some oxygen. She kept telling me to blow out faster than I was. I thought something was wrong. When I finally saw the Pulmonary Dr he said I passed and he gave me the clearance. Now I need to wait until Dec 2nd and 3rd for my 2 day stress test, then I will get the PCP Dr to give me my medical clearance and medically necessary form. It seem to have been a long time but since June I have lost 35 pounds. Come Jan I hope to have my surgery. Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hello,

I am having revision to sleeve 28 December. I am ready because my lapband slipped last year and stopped working. Also the closer it gets, I am eating more even though I run and cycle. My current weight is 210, I have the working out part down, just need and want to lose weight so I can feel better about myself and be lighter on feet and on bike. Want to look better for a 51 year man. I want to run the New York Marathon next year. Good luck to everybody.

My last "supervised diet" educational class is tomorrow... Woo hoo for these 7 months flying by. On my way home from work my Doctors office called. They had some cancelations and want to see me right after my class tomorrow. So it looks like I could have my surgery in December after all.. A little scared/nervous because my mind was set on January. Oh my!

I was approved today initially they submitted for 12/9 so will be calling me with a surgery date tomorrow. I'm assuming 12/16 due to the to two-week pre op diet. So excited and my nerves are high at the same time

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
