me 2!! just liquids and bowel prep the day before wihich is the day AFTER christmas. so glad how that all worked out. good luck to you!!

pre-testing in the morning, surgery 2 weeks from tomorrow!!

thank you so much for posting this. now i really know what to expect. im so happy you are on the other side. cant wait to be in your shoes!

this is my biggest fear. i am a F (and i refuse to buy bigger so im probably a double F). i worry what is going to happen and how long i have to wait to have them fixed. this is the main reason my husband is hesitant on the surgery. i mean the girls are as much his as they are mine. how long do we have to wait to have the surgery to "repair" them?

counting down the days! 20 days to go!!

YAY for you! I am the 27th!! Good luck!

The surgeon's office let me know everything was sent for approval today. Fingers and toes crossed. Hopefully this is the beginning to the end of the waiting. . . . . . .

So I was told I wouldn't have my sleeve until January but I got a call today that someone cancelled and my date is December 27th!! I got the last surgery date for the month!! So excited to join the December Sleevers!!

FINALLY! Got my date!! December 27th. Someone cancelled and I got the last surgery for my surgeon in December!!. Woohoo!! I cannot wait! Three weeks from today!!

yay!! congrats on getting your date. i'm still waiting on mine ugh!! it will be here before you know it.

Good luck! prayers your way. keep us updated on how you do.

yes, it's either or, but they prefer the nutritionist.

i did the three months supervised diet with my doctor. he was so cool. he dictated my letter right in front of me and stopped recording to ask me what else they needed. even though i did the three months with my pcp, cigna still denied me because i didn't see a nutritionist (even though their requirements say either, or). so i had to see the nutritionist too and resubmit. then they approved me. it is such a pain in the a##. best of luck to you. i know it may not seem like it now, but the next 2 months will be over before you know it.

No, my advocate said the lady from scheduling will call me and I if I don't hear from her by Monday to call. Oh, I will be calling Lol. I want this done as early in January as possible! 5 days for you!

$350 registration fee upfront today. That's as far as I got. Still don't have my date.

I know, me too. Let me know what you find out!

It'll be here and over before you know it. My surgeon is the same way. Liquids for just 24 hours the day before. I actually gained during this whole process, it's been so hard with quitting smoking!! I'm sure you'll do great. Keep me updated. 6 days left!

wait wait wait a minute!! isn't your date today!?!? how are you doing???

i can't wait to get my date!! thanks for the happy dance! i've been doing it for 3 hours!! Lol!

Love your story!! I am a RN too and have gained 100 pounds since being married 16 years ago. I just got my approval and will be getting my sleeve in January. Congrats on your success!!

Almost three weeks, one denial and a "reconsideration" and I am finally approved. Thank you Jesus!! It's not gonna be in December like I hoped, but I can definitely live with waiting until January. Starting 2013 with the new ME!!

Denied at first and approved today!!! Thank God THAT'S over!!!

I got approved today through Cigna too!!! Congrats to you!! We can be buddies. I will have my date tomorrow but I know it will be in January! Starting off 2013 with the new us!!

i'm not where you are yet but i can see myself being there. i just found out i'm approved and my husband has flipped a switch and is now acting like he doesn't want me to have the surgery. ugh!! i know he is not going to be as supportive as i thought he would be. but i am doing this for me and not for him. hope things get better for you.

Well got denied. They said something is missing. The advocate at the surgeon's said not to worry. Have to resend and hopefully hear next week. Of course it wouldn't be easy for me. that's the way my life goes. Feeling kinda down right now. I hate waiting.
