I start my pre-op diet tomorrow but don't have approval for surgery yet. God willing the approval wiil come soon. I have a date of December 23 for sure if approval comes through. I may also get moved back to the 21. Please say a prayer for me that Humana comes through or I've spent all this money on Optifast for nothing and starved through all the Christmas celebrations.. Does anyone feel like they're about to lose one of their best friends? I do :( . I know this must be normal but it stinks. This too shall pass. Thanks to everyone out there and God Bless Us All.

I will definitely pray for you. I had people pray for me and I know it made a difference. I have Tricare Prime South also known as Humana military and they were extremely quick with getting me approved. Good luck!

Thank you for your prayers. I started my preop diet today. Still no approval. Do you remember how long it took for you to get approval? I know my doctor is doing everything they can for me. I believe it will come through and I'll be ready for surgery on the 23rd. :shades_smile:

Thank you Cheri. I called Humana yesterday and the nurse that I talked to told me that I should get approval before my surgery date. I'm still holding my breath a bit until someone tells me YOU'RE APPROVED. I do feel more confident that all our prayers will be answered. Thank you again for yours. :rolleyes:

      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.
