Hey guys, it's just a place for everyone to post their thoughts and feelings the day of surgery and while they are hospitalized and the rest of us provide encouragement etc to them!

Thats a great idea. Maybe I will go and buy something this week! Awwww yeeaaaahhh

A bit anxious but I keep reminding myself why Im doing it and that helps to relax me q bit :-)

I concur ...the atty suggestion sounds a little off base. I would seek out a new surgeon and also use the search tool on this site using the keyword 'appeal' to see what others have done. God speed

Are you feeling any anxiety at all?

Getting closer Thomas....you will be there before you know it!

That would be fantastic to be sleeve sisters lol. We shall find out tomorrow! Are you planning to join the e-waiting room when you make it to the hospital? Hopefully i can remember when the time comes

Thx onelessfatgirl!

I started my preop the first week of December but I had to come off of it after a month while they dragged their feet. Its just protein shakes and two small meals of protein and veggies. Then i have to do two days of clear liquids just before the surgery. I will call to find out the date tomorrow.

I called ins today and they told me to call back Wed to check for an update. My procedure has been scheduled for next week but I don't know what date. Guess I will find out wed.

Back atcha heartonmysleevey!

Marie I called ins today and the rep confirmed its still pending and apparently my surgeon has assigned a date of next week for my procedure so I have to call back Wed. I'm a little anxious but this is what we have been working towards!

Score Pammie! Congrats!

How's it going guys? Any updates lovieamber?

Marie, any update? High five Chocolate macchiato we will all be waiting together! lol

Congrats Firelle! I just called ins today and they stated to call back Wed. Apparently the date provided to them is for next week!!! Hoping to hear something in the next 48 hrs so I can begin final prep. **biting nails**

Hi GAmom...yes my insurance covered the cost, but I wasn't certain it would at the time so I didn't fill out the credit card request form attached to the paperwork for just that reason. Wasn't trying to get billed for an undetermined cost! I think they should let you know the cost up front so you can compare and shop around. FYI- Ms.Pitts.

Shay, unfortunately the lameness (I know that's not a word...lol) started early in the process back in the summer. My advocate NEVER initiated contact and at times even if i left her messages ro give me a call it didn't happen. I know only one other person who had a fantastic experience out of over 10 people I know personally. Not a good trend. Im hoping to get this over and done with in the next month or so as my confidence in this office has dwindled to a "cautiously optimistic"

I've come back to this thread and laughed even harder this time!

Ha ha...girl I meant you could give me a call. I typically use my phone when im logged in so I don't have all functionality unless Im on the computer. Not even certain if there is a way to do live chat here. On a separate note I think they are all lazy. My advocate would rarely call me back. Thank heavens at this juncture I don't think I need her anymore. I think they are under staffed and need to add more folks.

Congrats girlie and Im glad you are better. We are going to want an update around the 2nd! lol.

Yay Marie! I certainly hope its only 2 days. I want to get this over and done with! lol.

Hi Ms.Pitts, I used the one they provided, Dr. Walfish. Who is your advocate? Charlene? I had to go off Tues and escalated my issues to the office manager. Let me know if you wanna chat live and I will send you my info via message. I have been very disappointed with this office over the past couple of months and would certainly not recommend them at this time to anyone.

Hi Queen, I don't know how I missed this post but my file was submitted to insurance today! Took long enough. How are you doing?

My file was finally submitted to ins. today! Very happy....just waiting on.those three wonderful words.. YOU ARE APPROVED!
