So happy for you...I have my date of October 6th, all papers were submitted, now I just wait. I am pretty sure that they will approve me, but it sucks waiting for the yes to come through! So happy for you! Good luck, and if you are looking for a good shake, try Nectar shakes by Syntrax....that is what I use and they rock!

Hang in there, it gets easier!

I just got the date today! October 6th, I am soooo excited!!!!

I am in, pre op, so it is gonna be tough...I wanna lose 12lbs by Halloween!

Hi, I am concerned about getting approval through my insurance company. I am 28 with a BMI of 41. The thing is that I have no health problems. The only thing wrong with me besides beign morbidly obese is that June 2009 I fell down one step and broke my ankle in three places. Now I am full of plates and screws and cannot walk for any period of time, never mind trying to jump or walk on uneven ground. I think that a good weight loss might ease up on the ankle and better my quality of life. Nevermind the fact that my father was diagnosed with diabetes right before his 50th birthday and there is a long history of heart disease in the family. As well as my mother suffering from a major stroke at the age of 38. All this taken into consideration, I have choose to start my journey. Is there anyone else going through this? I feel that I am just too healthy for the insurance company....GO FIGURE! I guess only time will tell!

HI, I am 28 and weight 225 right now...I am all done with testing and appointments...all i have to do now is meet with my dr on the 14th to schedule surgery and submit it to insurance. I am so nervous that they will deny it for some reason. I have done so much work to get here and now I am at the end of my first journey ready to start the next and all I can think is what if the insurance denies it??? I know that I can appeal, but that would suck....anyone else going through this?

Personally I would not get any surgery in Mexico, just me, but by all means, do what will make you happy. I set up my surgery date in 2 weeks, and my husband was very against it in the beginning, but he is coming around. Good luck!

I use the syntrax nectar...it has 0 fat and 0 carbs...it has 23g protein(remembering off the top of my head) and comes in great flavors. I use the vanilla bean, fuzzy naval and the strawberry kiwi. I buy the big tub from the vitamin shoppe. They have a return policy, if you try it and don't like it you can bring it back, no questions asked. Good luck!

Great! I have to submit mine for approval....how long did it take for you to get the approval? And which insurance, if you don't mind me asking...I am so ready to get this done...I am starving!
