She told me she was just gathering everything and was going to fax it over. First thing this morning BANG!!!! a call your approved and your scheduled for Feb 11th @ 1:30.Liquid diet starts on the 4th.:smile2:

So all of a sudden I'm scared and excited at the same time.

I know I will be fine but god I've been working on this through 2 different insurance companies.

So wish me luck..

I know I can't think about anything else..... Hopefully we can share our journey throughout this post. I wish you all the luck.

I also got approved today and will be finding out my date tomorrow! I know i was soooo excited to get the message but my nerves started to kick in as well! I have two sets of twins at home ( two 3yr olds and two 2 yr olds) so i am also kind of wondering how coming home after surgery will be! i think my biggest worry is not drinking when eating,i know i can do it but this whole process will be completely life changing and that is a very good thing!:unsure:

Congratulations!:biggrin: I also know the feeling, as I got word this week that I got approved and my surgery date is 2/25/10. I will attend my first support meeting on 2/8/10 and have to do a two week liquid diet starting 2/11/10. Anthem BC/BS is my provider and I'm in New Mexico. Like yourself I'm both excited and scared, but know that its all good:thumbup:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
