Yay!!! Good luck!!! It has got to feel so surreal.

I'm officially submitted to insurance today. This next week will be nerve racking.

Hey guys I got a surgery date for Feb. 8, 2017. I'll be having surgery in NJ.

Still haven't been approved by insurance yet tho. Very nervous about it actually as I have gained a couple of pounds due to the holidays and scared they might think I'm not serious about surgery . 8 pounds to be exact from the last time they weighed me.

I am 5'5 and weigh 248 now. When the first weighed me I was 240 in November

Really can't wait for the next 3 weeks to fly by and I hope I get approved!!

Good luck my feb. sleevers !!!! I will keep y'all updated .

Feb. 8th also!!

Hi. I'm an aussie and have been reading all the posts about insurance and long waiting periods in the US. It's so different here. If you have health insurance you already know what your policy covers so no approvals required. So this makes the process much quicker. I saw my surgeon late Nov and my surgery is in 2 weeks. Could have been earlier if not for Xmas/New Year holidays, requiring a gastroscopy and my surgeon away on leave. I don't know if I could have coped waiting for up to a year for this surgery. Hats off to all of you who keep going. It's all going to worth it. I'm so excited for my surgery.

Steph, it just varies between different insurances, to specific policies, individuals, and doctors. For example, with me, my first appointment was on December 21st. I'm eligible now for the surgery, but the doctor doesn't have an opening until February, so that's when I'll have it. If it wasn't for the holidays, I probably could've had it done within six weeks from start to finish.

Tomro I start my 3 week pre-op diet before surgery (Feb 13th) and I just keep telling myself that today is the last day of life as I know. It's so surreal! The biggest life change I've ever taken on. Good luck to everyone through this transition ????
