Good luck! I also had to quit smoking for approval. I quit on 1/1/20 and still have cravings when I get stressed. I'm concerned that after the surgery i may struggle bc i can't smoke, stress eat or drink alchohol. So I've made appts to see two therapist and hopefully one of them will be a fit. I need new coping strategies since I can't take the old ones into my new life with me.

I hope you get approved quickly. Keep us updated! When are they requesting the preapproval?

My paperwork gets submitted after my last appointment March 3rd. Good luck!

Congratulations on quiting smoking and making it this far! Waiting is the hardest part! I've completed everything and have been approved. I'm just waiting for the scheduler to call...

I was approved by insurance about 2 weeks ago and my surgeon is booked out so far that I don't get to meet with him until the end of February. It's a pest since I just want to know when my date is going to be, so I can look forward to and plan for it, but I'm trying to use it to up my endurance exercising and dropping a few more pounds.

GREAT JOB in quitting smoking! That was a hard one for me 20+ years ago. My hardest thing so far was having to give up diet soda and caffeine. Even that hasn't been so bad, but I know those 'hit you sideways' cravings do sneak up on you when you're least expecting them.

Best wishes for you!

Must be really hard to have to wait after jumping through all the hoops to get where you are.My surgeon scheduled me just about immediately after submitting insurance 3 weeks out. And my surgery date is next Wednesday 19th, The 2 week liquid diet has not been too bad.The protein shakes and smoothies and a little bit that I can eat seem to keep me satisfied.I'm just happy that I'm almost there with the surgery. But I know that's when the hard work begins as well. Best of luck to you. Hope you get scheduled soon
