Waiting on approval from blue cross blue shield of illinois anybody have any idea on timeline?

My surgery is in two days! May 21st Would u recommend brining your own gown, or hospital gown?

How is everybody doing?

My surgery is coming up, and this might sound crazy to some, but as a mother I'm worried! My sons 3rd birthday is 5days post op And wondering if i should schedule the party before or if ill be up for it?

Depending on your plan that your employer chose, I had no requirements, at 100% cover with no deductible. Doc office submitted paperwork on Wednesday afternoon, they called Friday and had it approved! Good luck!

I'm also worried about this: getting sleeved may 21st, I had my appendix rupture last summer and it was awful and month later my gallbladder, gallbladder to me wasn't near as bad as appendix. So I continuously trying figure out just how bad the sleeve is going to be compared to those!

Just curious how the recent couple of people scheduled in last few days are doing? Thoughts and prayers of a speedy recovery are with you u all! :-)

How r u doing

That is great! Sounds like u r doing wonderful! How long did u have to stay in hosp? My doc requires 3 nights 4 days! I'm thinking that might be a little extreme.

Omg!! Great? That is awesome!!

my surgery is either the 14 or the 21st will know tomorrow! And my nerves r starting to kick in big time! I'm a mother of 5, four of them r under 4 and I'm so scared of the initial pain and recovery time! Please post with your experience please!

Thanks everybody! I feel better about it, I had my appendix rupture last summer, and my gallbladder at two different times last summer, night awful and just hoping its not any worse. How many days did u all stay in hosp?

How is the pain? I have heard its very similar to gallbladder removal?

Congrats!! That is awesome! Mine is come up in 2-3 weeks!!

I'm sure each Doc is somewhat different but just wondering..

Got my date!!! Pre-op may 8th surg may 21st

I'm the 21st!!

What all did your pre-op consist of?

Yay 4 us!! I would love to have somebody to talk you who can relate!!

I'm may 14th!! Hopefully! Depending on insurance approval!

For two months now I have been doing everything I was suppose to do, going to all my appointments doing egd, bloodwork etc and the whole time going back and forth which surgery to choose. My best friend had the lap band and has done very well, but the more I though about it and the chance I was taking on it working for me, the foreign object in my body for the rest of my life. After speaking to my doc several times he feels the sleeve is for me and Im going to trust his judgement. I'm scheduled for may 14th and I'm so nervous but so excited!

Mine will be submitted Wednesday! I'm hoping its fast! Going to disney in July! So I'm in a small recovery timeline!

We r very similar! If u ever want to talk to support my email christymetro@gmail.com

I'm barely 5 foot weighing 230, my surgery should be may14!!
