I have gone through all the hoops for the Gastric sleeve over the last 3 weeks. Monday my psych eval should be at my surgeons office and they are submitting to my insurance. The surgeon belives he can get it approved with everything we have. I am still going in for a sleep study just in case it gets denied. But I am on pins and needles thinking this could be it. I could possibly get approved.

The waiting is awful. On one hand you want to throw yourself into preparing for the surgery mentally and physically, then you're afraid to count on it too much. I was approved today and the last few weeks have been a roller coaster. Keep positive, believe with all your heart, and come to this site when you need support, that's what I did. Good Luck, sounds like you have all your bases covered and have done what you need to do. Keeping good thoughts for you!

I feel like I dont have enough "problems" for the insurance to approve it. But I trust my dr and I am trying everything not to drive myself crazy of this. I am so ready to have this surgery and start feeling better. I will be devastated if it gets denied!!!

I understand.
I am sure we can all relate to what you are feeling.
How long has this process been?
My insurance requires 6 months of working with dietician and office visits.
I have to wait until August before I can have the surgery and that is the earliest.
I hope things go well for you.
I have a high BMI, mine is currently 55
Plus I have 3 comorbidites.

My insurance only required 2 Nutrionist visits. I am currently at a 36.9 BMI with 1 comorbity and several of the life limiting comorbities. I started this journey at the end of Feb. It has gone fairly quickly but I am still so super nervous. I am exhausted from all the apts over the last 3 weeks.

Wow, I can't believe the requirements were so minimal.
I wish I didn't have to do the six months, but I suppose it will be good to get myself mentally prepared.

Thank you.
Same to you, please keep us posted.
I have a couple female cousins that had the surgery over a year ago and they have been encouraging me to get it.
My wife is supposed to have it done in April so I will be able to assist her and see how hers goes.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
