I am going to have my dr fill out the form for FMLA. I just didn't know if it was going to hard or not for them to fill it out.

? How many days will you be taking off? Is it FMLA covered?

Hi everyone My name is Rosa and (26) married no kids and just got my approval letter !!!!! My date will be for sure In February. I been obese since I turned 18 it seems so tired of it so glad I am almost their. Oh and I live in sherwood arkansas

Great!! How exciting hopefully you get your date quick

That's awesome!!! I didn't know what to think since we just switched new insurance at our jobs. Very grateful I really needed this How much do you have to pay out of pocket?

Finally done with my 6 month diet support group. I thought it was never gonna end and god forbid you missed a call because they would start you all over. Everything so far looks good my health coach said so I should be hearing something really soon. Anyone else through with their 6 month dietician? If so, how did it go? Did they deny approve? I live in Arkansas and have quchioice and was working with Carewise.

I don't remember he was old and had white and grey hair lol. That appointment was 2 hrs long the test itself was an 1 1/2 long so be ready. Dr. Baker is a great Dr too you will not regret it. I had to be on the 6 month diet too it went by pretty quick my surgery is on the 29th.

I feel a lot better knowing what to expect!!! Do you have to pay anything out of pocket at Baptist? I'm having to pay 1700 but that's my co insurance :/ Thanks

How much we're the shakes? Where r u having your surgery done at?

That is so awesome and motivating!! Where did you have ur surgery at? How was the facility?

What surgeons have y'all used or already did?

Hey I am from sherwood and using dr.baker

Awesome thread Hispanic here. I was worried about the food as well I'm getting nervous too. I'm worried about the heartburn,spices,chili powder and tortillas. Aahhhh

The worst has crossed my mind as well glad that its normal. Me and my husband have been talking alot about this lately. I have to make sure that we are on the same page before I go through with this. He totally supports it and sees the outcome can benefit both of us. My husband is fit just diabetic but tall and slim and their is things that I can't do with him that I would love to do. He is also a nature outdoor body and I would love to go canoeing but I just feel that Iam way to big for that.

I think its like 3 of us now for that date!! love it and good luck

Me too!!! Great the more the better

Great idea!!!

How long is everyone diet plan before surgery? I was told that I will be on shakes for 2 weeks prior. When Is your next dr appt before surgery?

Congrats!!! I cut out fast food resturants that was my major weak link.. U?

Mines on the 29th of October but I swear time is passing by so fast!!! It will be here before you know it.

I had to go through something similar with the advocate dept at my job too. I work for a catholic hospital and they did not want to cover the sleeve what so ever but we finally got everything together and they approved me. So grateful for the advocacy dept.
