Best wishes to you all. I'm glad yo see you guys have dates already. I have approval because my surgeon gets that first, now I am just waiting for my date. My preop appointment is on the 25th (19 days away), I am hing to get a date then!

I got my insurance approval Tuesday. But I have to lose weight before the dr will give me a date. 10 more to go. Been on liquid only for the last two days, hoping this helps speed up the process. This is the second time I've been through all this, the first time my insurance coverage dropped and I had to stop. I'm ready to just steam roll through this and be done. Pre op class monday.

I'm waiting for mine approval I first had to get a letter from my primary dr saying that I need the surgery, then I have to see a nutritionest, and now I have to see sic evaluation and then I go back to see the surgeon. I hope they don't tell me I need to be on a supervise diet. My primary dr put in her letter that I need the surgery do to that I have life threatening health problems, and when I saw the nutritionest she said I should have it right away as well do to my sugar levels are close to the 300 and my BP is high even taking meds. Does anyone have this problem to.

Congrats!!! Urs did go by so fast!!! Today is a good day for me too, I was insurance approved last Tuesday but I did my pre op class today and I got my surgery date!!!. 8.22 !! I'm so excited altho not about the liquid diet that started today.... and I have so many project I'd like to get done before surgery to make life a tad easier.

My surgeon just sent my approval over to insurance today, they will look at the schedule tomorrow and let me know a date!!! It's all getting real now. I was told longest I would wait is a week, unless we were missing some info
