Alright Twins we are almost 1 week out and just wondering how everyone is doing/feeling and do you have any new full liquid ideas???? Well I was released from the hospital on Tuesday night, thinking OMG what did I do to myself, but as the days have gone by times are definitely easier. This morning I woke up to almost no pain. My only issue is that I was allergic to the tape that they used on the incisions.

It's surgery day peeps!!!! On our way to the hospital now. Good luck and best wishes to all of my sleeve twins!!!!

Cigna approve me in 5 days with a BMI of 43 with no co-morbidities. My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning!!! Good Luck

Wow the countdown has begun. In less than 24 hours my new life will begin!!!!! I have to be at the hospital for 5:00 AM tomorrow!!!!! Good luck to all of my sleeve twins!!!!!

Wow this is it in less than 24 hours my new life will begin. Good luck to all of my sleeve twins!!!!

Well I found out tonight that my mother father and brother are all against me having my surgery which is scheduled for June 25th. However, my wonderful husband if nine years is totally behind me 100 percent. I totally want this surgery for myself and so that I can live a healthier life for my children. I know this is what I want for myself and I should not let anyone discourage me but after speaking to my dad I don't want to disappoint him or my mom, but I have prayed and prayed about this and God gave me the means for this so I'm leaving it all in his hands!!!! I am going forward with the surgery. If it wasn't ment to be he would not have given me the means to do it!!! Any advise is totally welcome.

I am having my surgery on the 25th here in New Orleans, LA!!!! Good luck to all. I began my pre-op diet on the 11th as well

Cigna was great, I had no problems with them. It took exactly 5 days to get my approval and my surgery is scheduled for Monday!!! Good luck.

If they offer siminars go to a few of them that's what helped me make my choice.

I am on day 6 pre op and it is definately getting better. My surgery is scheduled for Monday the 25th.

I have Cigna and it took exactly 5 business days and I was approved on the first try. I think it all depends on your insurance coordinator and if they know what exact paperwork they need to submit.

I am in day 5 of my liquid pre-op diet and my surgery is on June 25th. I am having a difficult time with it. I am always hungry, but have four protein drinks a day with popcicles sf jello and broth through out the day. Does anyone have any suggestions to get me through the next 8 days???

I find it harder today because I have been at work the whole week and now that I am idol at home it is not helping.

Thanks guys for the encouraging words

No problem I was a basket full of nerves the whole time and worse after they submitted to my insurance

Yes I lost 19 pounds and BMI did drop but I don't remember I think like one number

I have Cigna (OAP) in the middle of my six month they changed their policy to only 3 months supervised diet. I have a BMI of 45 with no co-morbidity and had no problem with the insurance approval. My date is set for June 25th. On preop now it's tough but I'm looking to a much healthier future!!! Good luck to all of you on your journey to the losers bench!!!

Congrats!!!

I am scheduled for 6/25 as well began my pre-op on Monday also

My date is June 25th!!!

I have it June 25th!!!!!

My doctor's office submitted my paperwork to Cigna on Friday morning. I called and they confirmed that they have received the paperwork. Anyone with Cigna OAP can give me some info on how long it took for approval. Im just nervous and ready to get rolling with my surgery.
