Congrats!!! I just got approved today so I may end up with a date close to your date.

Good luck to you both! Please keep us posted on everything!!

I'm so happy!! I just called Aetna to check on my case that was sent in on the 15th and they said I'm approved!!! I've been so nervous I would be denied for some stupid reason. So excited!!! Should have an August surgery date!!!

No. I would love details on it. I'm looking for a good support meeting to join. Thanks!!!

Thanks everyone!!!

Dallas here...actually Mesquite.

Hey all. I have a question. How many of you saw or are seeing a psychologist before the sleeve or after the sleeve for eating issues? I am definitely a stress eater and I've got it under control mostly while I'm still in the 6 month supervised diet but I'm worried about it still. I've already decided I'll see the psychologist after the sleeve just to deal with the head issues but just wanted to see what everyone else is doing.

I talked with the psychologist for about 30 minutes. He was just making sure I knew about the surgery and was prepared for everything. Also went over past weight loss attempts and failure. Then, I had to take a true/false questionnaire...was like 400 questions. It wasn't bad at all. I stressed about it for nothing. You'll do fine....just be honest with them. Good luck!

Welcome and best of luck!!! Keep us posted on how it goes.

I was just reading through several of these posts and a much as I hate that we all feel this way, it sure is nice knowing there are others who worry about the same things that I do. Just when you think you are the only person who feels a certain way, this place reminds me that so many of us are alike. It's nice fitting in!

I just started my 5th month of the supervised diet so still have 2 months to go. I'm hoping I'll have an August surgery date!!! You never know with insurance but I'm hoping I get a quick approval.

Just saw this post. I'm so happy for you!!! I'm still on the 6 month supervised diet but my last weigh in was 404. I'm getting close to the 300's and I can't wait! I totally know how you feel! Keep up the awesome work! You are truly an inspiration for me and I can't wait to be sleeved and on the same journey as you!! -Kim

You look great!!! Such an awesome job!

Wow!!! You look amazing! Thanks for sharing.

That's great!! Sounds like you are doing awesome!

Hey all! I started this journey in January and have been doing the 6 months of Dr supervised diet since then (doing that with my PCP). Yesterday, I had my appt with the Nut and she went over my diet after surgery...week by week...and really talked about everything. Wow! It actually started to get real for me at that point. I guess doing the 6 months of dieting seems literally endless so really going over the diet after surgery got me excited and nervous at the same time!!! I still have two more months of my 6 month requirement before submitting to insurance for approval but just had to share. I'm hoping I'll have surgery in August!!! It will be here before I know it!
