That is super fast! What insurance do you have? My insurance requires a 6 month process. I started everything back in Nov.



I started the process in feb and surgery is next month. Waiting on final approval from insurance company.

I just found out I was approved and my surgery is scheduled for April 17th. I was really shocked that my approval only took about 24 hours [emoji15].
Now it is getting real!

What insurance do you have? I have BC/BS of IL and my approval came within five hours. She submitted in the morning and by two she had an approval. Hopefully you'll hear something soon, if not today!! Fingers crossed for you :780_sparkling_heart:

Thanks. I have Tricare Prime. I can't wait to hear back. It's normally 24 hours for them. I think they're waiting for my upper gi that I'm getting done right now. I'm waiting to be called in. Then I'll probably hear back next week. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. My younger brother is getting married in June so I'm looking forward to lose a good amount of weight before I head out to cali.

Don't forget, after all your testing is done and you're officially waiting for approval, you can call the insurance company to check on your status. Sometimes they will approve you, but take a day or two before sending something out.

I'm too excited about getting a good amount of weight off by fall. It will be nice to go through a corn maze and not want to collapse twenty minutes in.

That's good to know thanks. Maybe I'll call them on Monday.

I know the feeling. I can't wait to just be able to go back out to play with the kids. I was in the Army and I just want to go back to my old self and show them momma used to be a soldier and she's now back to her old self.
Running through a corn maze sounds like fun!

My tentative date is April 26th. They are just waiting to get the approval to confirm and schedule my last meeting with my surgeon to go over questions and with my nurse to go over what my pre open diet will consist of.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
