November 14th here!! I'm in Atlanta. Going to look for the FB group now!

I am also in Atlanta. My date is tentatively November pending insurance approval so I'll wait for the date before I join the group. Which practice are you using? Boy am I getting nervous.

Search for "November 2016 Sleevers" on fb. There's about 80 members in the closed group now. It's a respectful and supportive group

Is it now closed to new members?

Dee Dee, I'm using Atlanta Bariatrics, Dr Johnson - what about you?

I'm at a BMI of 38 now. If I lose 10 more lbs during the liquid pre surgery phase, I'm nervous my ins won't cover the surgery.

@@DuckOfEvil

"It's crazy how there is no standard for diet preop and how much it varies from surgeon to surgeon. At my clinic you have to lose 10 lbs 12 weeks preop and an additional 10 during the 2 week liquid diet and you have to use the product the clinic has chosen during that 2 weeks. "

I have a friend who had to do that. It's just their way of pushing their product. Just stay positive and know that the pre op diet won't last forever!

They go by your weight and bmi when you started the program do you should be good. I'm a 38bmi now with no comorbities and my surgery got approved last week.

Have asked to join the fb group but says the group closed now? Is there any way I can join please? Thanks

I believe that closed means that someone from the group had to approve your request to join
