rls41998 replied to soonerorlater's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi everyone! I'm 5'4" and at 250. My gw is 150. haven't been there since right after high school. I live in Arkansas and started thinking about the sleeve in July. Went to wls seminar august 19. I did psych eval and nut first, then ins approval. I was approved after 2 wks and 3 days! Now I go Dr on oct 16. Hopefully I'll get a surgery date for the first week in nov! I'm so excited, I can't believe its this close. Good luck to everyone on their journey! -
I had to tell the ppl I work with. I'm a LPN so it'll effect my work. So far everyone has been encouraging. Of course I've never been one who cares about other ppl's opinions. But like I said everyone from my bosses to other staff is excited with me.

I guess I did all mine backwards. Went to seminar then psych eval and nutritionalist. Go dr on the 16. I have been reading everyone elses post and it seems the did everything before ins approval. I still have pre-op tests to do but already got ins approval? ! -

Psych eval was ok. Mine made sure I understood the changes I would have to make and have made so far. I used a dr they recommended. I had to answer a 137 question test. Just answer honestly. Some of the questions were really out there! Now I'm waiting on the call for first dr appt and scheduling. Best of luck to u!
