Hi all! I'm 36 and have a BMI of 39. I have completed the 6 months of dr visits. And am now awaiting approval. I have Ky Passport and wondered if anyone had the same and how long that process takes for approval. Thanks!

My dr hasn't mentioned a liquid diet and surgery is on the 18th. Should I be worried? I go back on the 6th -

Called back to surgeons office. I'm ready to be submitted to insurance for approval BUT they still don't have the physicians notes correct. Ugh. This has been ongoing since June 22. -

All my labs are done and pre surgery testing is complete! I call my surgeons office tomorrow to verify they've received all info and I move to the next step of getting insurance approval. I leave for vacation Monday so I'd love to get approval back when we get home the following Tuesday -

I had all my labs drawn today and a Doppler of my legs scheduled for Monday. Everything should be back by mid week and can then be submitted to insurance for approval. I'm so ready for this. We leave for England a week from Monday so I really want all these hoops jumped thru -

Anyone switched dr practices? I've already completed my 6 months but every time I call their office I feel like they don't have all their ducks in a row. They want me to come back in again to meet with the surgeon even though when I met with him I told him I we still deciding between the sleeve and the lap band. -

I'm planning on August. We are going out of the country in mid July and I worry about complications if I do it earlier. I've already done my 6 month visits, sleep study, met with the surgeon, nutritionist and social worker. I've been going back and forth on the lap band or the sleeve. The surgeon seemed to prefer the band. Since I've only been counseled on the band I have to go back and have the sleeve counseling section too.
