    stacy03, any news on your surgery date? I finally received my letter yesterday with my pre-op testing (june 12) and H&P (June 21).

    I received my verbal approval on the 17th, and my actual approval letter the next day on the 18th. I guess when I look at it that way, it has just been a full business week. Lol. I can't help but be excited to move forward

    Fellow Carmel St. Vincent Sleever's... It has been almost 2 weeks since I received the insurance approval confirmation from the Surgeons office, but I have yet to receive my letter with my pre-op scheduling. How long did it take for you to hear back? I am trying not to be impatient, but I was hoping to hear by now.
  14. Happy to report that I was approved today! 40.1 BMI- waiting for my pre-op scheduling!!!!
  15. I have been told its all the IV liquids we are pumped with, along with body retaining fluids during swelling after the procedure.

    BCBS- got my approval today!

    Thanks!!! I was so happy to get the approval. My out of pocket is a little high ($5050), with with the pre and post care support provided, it is well worth it!

    Stacy03, I am with Dr. Evanson. I really like him. He said that he considered me a perfect candidate for the Sleeve and expects that I will drop my weight quickly. That was bet encouraging. I also signed up as a possible candidate for the activity study- so I hope that comes through. I see it as a good motivation to have my activity tracked pre and post op. I know it's too late for June, but I hope I can still get a July date!

    Stacy03, I am preop as well. I actually just got the call today from Shalanda letting me know my insurance approval came in this morning!!! Hope to get my pre-ops scheduled soon

    Stacy03, I have started attending the St. Vincent Support group they offer on the 1st $ 2d Tuesday of the month. It is very informative to hear from others in various stages of their journey. Have you been to one?
  20. I would say, have it removed. I initially tried the holistic approach, and 5 months later I was in the hospital having it removed after becoming deathly sick. I feel so much better now!!
