Pre-op Liquid Diet Starting 10/13/2016

And just like that it hit me, this is really going to happen. I started this journey prior to my birthday 9/25 in 2015. Im using an insurance from a beneficiary pension from my mother who passed away in 1996. I omitted the insurance awhile back because it was cheaper thru my job. None the less the process to add it back takes 6 months waiting so i started the waiting process just to use the insurance on 10/1/2015....until 4/1/2016. Scheduled my consult on 4/1/2016 with the surgeon, in which of course he recommended me for gastric sleeve surgery. Was advised i needed 6 months of nutritional visits..Completed all paper work,psych eval, orientation, and fitness eval by 9/20th 5 days before my birthday. Paperwork submitted to insurance company on 9/29...Surgery date scheduled for 10/27/16...no preop appt. as of yet and i start my 2 week liquid diet on 10/13/16....READY, EXCITED, N NERVOUS!!

Bad news received today, my insurance denied my surgery becuase my bmi is not high enough. It's medical necessary but I guess they don't care about my health. Now have to make an appeal. Crossing my fingers.
