Hey Tasha, let me clarify.... The process from when I first attended a weightless seminar until now has been approximately 3 months. Not the insurance approval. Sorry that was confusing!

I think that you are making some great decisions for yourself! You are taking charge to live healthier! If he is the one, you will know. And, in my opinion if it's meant to be, then he'll be there for you when you are ready! Stay strong...... wishing you the best of luck!

Hey guys, I'm waiting on my approval from the insurance! They submitted everything to UHC on 6/28. I called today and they said they had received every thing and it was in a pending status. It has to go through a medical review team and then a medical director for approval! I'm so anxious to get this approved and to get a date! Please keep me in your thoughts! I'm so ready to start the journey and be on the loser's bench with everyone! Hugs to every one on this journey!

Good for you Susie! Glad you are doing so well! We'll be here for you for support if needed!

I believe that some have said 4 or 5 but I'm not sure! I hear you about wanting to know. When I started this process and they told me that it could take 3 to 6 months, I thought for sure that they were exaggerating! Lol. I'm almost at the 3 month mark so they know what they are talking about! . Best of luck to you!

Congrats Mishy! How are you feeling?

Awesome job! You look great and so happy!

Hi Tasha, I have UHC and my paperwork was submitted 6/28. I'm in the waiting game right now. From what I've read on the site, the approval time varies for every one! Fingers crossed that it will not take long!

It really was a great story Carla! You caught our attention and we kept wanting to read more! You should think about doing that novel that you mentioned! Glad you are back ok and on your journey! Thanks for sharing with us!

Awesome job! You look great! Enjoy your trip!

Hey ladyhouston, I think my username is a little misleading. I'm not in Houston. I used my husbands middle name to sign up. . I am however a previous New Orleanian! I always feel that people from New Orleans and Houston have a lot in common! Sleeveme, looks like we will be waiting buddies together! I hope we hear something this week. I agree the waiting is Miserable! Ladyhouston, keep us informed about your surgery date. Hopefully, we'll all be sleeved very soon!

Congrats Tinker! I'm hoping that it's just the holiday that seems to have mine going a little while!

Yay! Congrats!

Kiki, I'm still preop so I can't offer any experiences to you! Stay positive and look forward to the journey to the healthier you and of course all the shopping that you will get to do for your great new body! Best of luck to you and keep us posted!

Wonderful news! Congrats!

You look great and have done such a great job in 7 weeks! Congrats on your success! Keep rocking your sleeve!

Thanks so much onmyway, Amy and sml! Appreciate your support!

Happy for you all! May the time pass very quickly!

Hang in there! You are doing this to be a healthier you! Try to stay busy so you don't think about it! Maybe you can organize or clean out some closets! That is going to be my plan!

Thanks Kathy and Sleeveme! The waiting game is definitely testing my patience!

Welcome! This forum is great! Great people and lots of information to help you on your journey!

Rock that sleeve!

So sorry this has happened! I hope everything works out with your Cobra coverage for surgery!

Thanks for coming back to the site and sharing your story! It's very encouraging for those of us that have not been sleeved yet! Congrats on your success and keep up the great work!

I agree! Don't let the hubby get you down! I haven't told my husband what I weigh! I've had a couple of procedures to have lumps removed from my breasts. Each time they came in before the procedure, I told them they could tell my husband anything they wanted..... But not my weight! I don't know how much my husband thinks that I weigh. He is 5'10 and about 185! I have no intention of telling him what I weigh even when I lose weight! Lol
