    December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

    Hi everyone, hope you all had a great thanksgiving. I have to say, I am thankful for this site because I have learned so much throughout this journey and couldn't have done it without you all. So today I have to do an MRI since my cardiologist is having me do thousands of tests before she clears me. Grrr. (Had coarctation of aorta 13yrs ago) which is at 2:45. Not nervous at all. Then.... My psych evaluation is today at 5:30. I am really really nervous about it. What should I expect? How long does it take? Any input will be very helpful. I couldn't sleep all night thinking about it.
  4. 1. Nutritionist appointment 11/25/13 2. Psych evaluation 11/29/13 3. Mra 11/29/14 4. Blood work 12/7/13 5. Cardiologist clearance 12-11-13 6. Primary doctor clearance 12-17-13 7. Surgery 10-30-13 OMG I hope I get approved by my insurance. Getting so nervous since my BMI is 37. Please pray for me!!! I cannot wait until that day!!!!

    Excited

    Yea I did make a friend and exchanged info.. But I am happy that I did all my research
  7. Went to my pre op class .. Waste of 55$ I knew everything they said.. Getting closer to completing everything . Dec 30 hurry up
  8. So I finally applied for horizon today since my school insurance doesn't cover bariatric surgery but horizon does.. Anyone knows if horizon blue cross blue shoes epo plus makes you wait the 3months/6months before approved? Please please please share.... I'm in the process f getting cleared from my cardiologist only 3 more tests to go woohooo .. I found out that I have a little high cholesterol and blood pressure. I am finally a BMI of 35.5... This should be enough right? I'm ready for my sleeve today too but I will have to probably wait grr

    Maybe I should do the 3 day diet too. My sister had the same doctor and she didn't have to do it either.

    I don't know if I should be happy or sad that I don't have to do a liquid diet for my surgery. They told me to just fast from midnight the night before. Hmmm. Should I do my own liquid diet?

    No one should be scared. I had my first heart surgery when I was 11 and I woke up from anesthesia then had my second surgery when I was 18 and again I woke up from anesthesia. We can't change our destiny. We all want this badly, then we shouldn't think negative. I am not scared at all. Any if anyone who changes their mind I'll take your date since mine is on December 30 lol. But all seriously, this will change for the better and we know it. Obviously there will be bump on the road but just imagine how we will feel during the summer ... We will be glad we did this.
  13. Does anyone know if BLue Cross Blue Shield-Horizon Advantage Epo of NJ cover the sleeve? How long do you have to wait for approval? Do they ask for you to wait 3months? 6months? Any specifics I should be aware??? Please respond I am literally paying almost $400 a month just to get the surgery...

    Regarding horizon (please respond)

    Yayyyyyy. I have tears now. I am going to pray really hard. I really want this so badly. Like my doctor tried to say I don't even look bad? Like really? I'm a size 14. Nothing good about that. Plus I don't want to get diabetes or a heart attack

    Omg you just made my night because I don't have any problems like sleep apnea or whatever else they look for. My cardiologist said the same thing to me and I'm like eff u well I didn't actually say that to her but still. Now I feel more confident. Was this year right?

    Hi everyone, I was told to join this thread but I have no idea how. Anyways, my surgery is scheduled for December 30. Way to start the new year right? My new year resolution is about to come true after 6yrs woohoo. Anyways, I am a little worried because my doctor said in in border line since my BMI is 37. He said my primary doctor has to really write a good letter. Supposedly he already faxed the letter to my surgeons office. Next week I have 4 appointments. My nutritionist appointment, pre surgery class, MRA on Friday (my cardiologist requested since I had heart surgery few years ago) she does not support me on this surgery what's so ever. She's only my doctor not my mom. She better clear me on December 11 lol. And I also have my psych evaluation on Friday. Hopefully after thanksgiving weekend they will submit my paper work to the insurance (BCBS-nj) any one has that insurance? What was the wait? Do they easily deny people? I can't wait until December 30. I who it was tomorrow lol.

    How Is It Going?

    My doctor is not having me do a liquid diet but I would love to lose 10lbs before surgery. What do I need to do?
  22. Omg yes, I meant 12-30-13 lol silly me.. It took me forever to conceive my cardiologist (had coarctation of aorta surgery in 2000) and she's making me do all these tests. I know she's being careful but I am fine. Can't wait to get my clearance. yay congrats to you too
  23. way to start my new year right? Lol soooo excited. Made all my appointments that I need to attend to. Doctor says I really need a good letter from my primary doctor since my BMi is 37... Any ideas that I should tell my doctor to write?
  24. Thank you so much for the info. Yea they gave me a surgery date and I have to complete the requirements. I can't wait till that day. I am not even nervous
  25. You will don't worry ... I was hoping beginning of December but there were no openings now hopefully I get approved by the insurance
