Hope all goes well for you!

Congrats

And not have to get the extra large ones.. we can get one of the normal sized ones..

Congrats!

I wish I had that option there aren't many doctors in my area that do the surgery so I'm stuck with the one that is avoiding me.. Congrats on the date btw..

Nope she has the same health insurance that I do.. She told me that her sister works at the hospital though.. So that's my guess!

Just heard something that makes me want to cry.. a lady at work approached me and asked if I was excited about the surgery. . I told her all that was going on with me. She then tells me she has already had her ekg, met the surgeon, and goes Thursday to get her surgery date.. I asked her when she started her journey and we started at the same time... :'( now tell me it's not personal!

I have United Healthcare and I got approved the first time.. I hope that all goes well for you!!

Hope that all went well, and that you had a smooth surgery and are at the start of a speedy recovery!!

Congrats on the date!! That's super exciting.. I hope to have a post like this soon..

Congrats on the approval!!

Thanks..

I'm in Elkton Virginia.. so it's not like there are a bunch of different options as far as doctors.. not to mention I am afraid to go to another doctor because I might have to jump through all of those hoops again to get an approval..

Welcome Matt.. and this place is awesome.. you will find things out that you had no clue about the process. You will quickly become addicted to this site. It has almost completly replaced all my social medias.. lol.. but good luck to you and hope that everything goes well for you!

I have been jumping through hoops and having multiple appointments since Jan... I recieved my approval on 6-21 but they submitted the wrong paperwork (they submitted it for the lapband) so I got my re-approval as of last Thursday. I am just super bummed because it's seven months in the works of jumping through hoops and now I am at a standstill again when really now is when I should be jumping for joy and looking forward to my surgery date. I am a planner and I have two kids, a new puppy, and a job that I have to coordinate around this.. so not knowing is making it super rough and stressful for me.:'(

Best of luck to you.. hope that you had a smooth procedure and have a speedy recovery.. just know that you got this!!

Happy birthday and congrats on the approval!

I talked to my boyfriend about this earlier and he thinks that I am taking things too personally. That she is a busy woman and has a lot of other patients.. and me continuing to hound her with emails and phone calls is only annoying her thus prolonging the process.

I'm in the same boat as you.. I know I'm approved just can't seem to get a date.. I'm a planner.. I would like to know so I can plan my life out.. But no such luck.. Hope you get your approval soon!

Sending good jue jue your way. Hope you get a fast approval and all goes well for you!

I don't think there is anyone higher than her.. The practice that I am going to is through a hospital. If I wasn't already approved through insurance I would find another doctor to go to.

Congrats on the date.. Hope all goes well for you.. And that's a smart wifey you got there..

Best of luck to you!! Hope all goes well..

I read on one of these posts of someone take protein with collagen in it.. I can't seem to find that post anymore. Does anyone know the name or brand of the protein? I would love to try it.. Just don't know what I'm looking for.. Also where is everyone getting their unflavored protein powder? Can't seem to find it in stores..
