I just scheduled my 5hr(she says it'll be over in 3.5 hrs tops) life after surgery class for next month. So, next month I have my class, at the end of the month I'll have my final NUT appt and then I'm on to submit! Everything else is done! I can't believe how close it is getting!

You are so lucky! My last nutrition appointment is in October and the time cannot go fast enough. Good luck with everything!

@@Sajijoma Yay! Your time will be here before you know it. Keep up the good work! xo

Thanks! I think the moment we actually submit I might be ready for a panic attack, but so far I'm just excited! I went through my daughter's closet last night and tagged everything I want to "borrow" when I get down to her size! ???? I've been buying her outfits I wish would fit me for over a year now so it's all going to pay off! Hahaha

That's too funny! If I had a daughter, I would probably do the same thing!

I actually just bought myself my first XL t-shirt as a goal shirt. I'm sure I won't be in it for long, but I didn't want to start too low and get disappointed if I couldn't fit into it right away.

I just had my final pre-op surgeon visit today and my last Dietician appt yesterday so I'm all ready to go! I'm going back and forth a lot but I know it's just surgery jitters!

Hi all! I had my first surgeon visit today and while his assistant recommended the sleeve for me, she said it was my choice. The surgeon came in and asked what I had decided and told him GB and he said ok. He said he will be writing the letter to my insurance company today; however, the insurance coordinator said she cannot submit until next month because if so many visits they require to be done. I don't quite understand if my insurance doesn't have a waiting time of non surgical weight loss as long as all documentation is there. I have attended first seminar, met with the MD once, had my Psych Eval, met with the surgeon so far. Next week I see the NUT for the first time as well as the MD and then the MD again next month. October I have to wait and see the exercise specialist 10/22. They are saying probably the end of Octoberish for surgery but will submit for approval sometime in September. I don't understand why the wait?

Oh and then once insurance approves it, I have to go for a 4 hour class as well. My program thru my surgeon is Healthy For Life and I get lifetime nutrition visits and lifetime exercise specialist.
