Approved, set for 4/1/11.



Recommended Posts

Got my approval letter from BCBS this morning in the mail, and a call from Dr. DeWitt's office this afternoon to set up my surgery. I go in on April 1st, I think at 6 am. I'm the first one of the day. Only have a five day or so diet, just cutting out carbs and sugars and then Clear Liquids only for the last two days I believe. Hoping maybe they send me something in the mail with directions, I was fired up on the phone and can't remember half of what they told me. Seems like it took forever to get here with the six months worth of doctor visits but now it seems like it came out of nowhere.

Thats totally Awesome!!! Im so happy for you!! I have mine on weds the 23rd march...I only had to wait few months, for i am self pay, If u are not sure at all on what u can or should not eat/drink give your dr.office a call, it really helps, and they r there to help with this..I had to do a 10 day all liquid/protein shake diet, its not to bad, and it did help me to lose 16 pounds so far (2 more days of it) Im totally new to these forums, so i dont have much experience with anything yet, but feel free to add me as a friend..best of luck to you :)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
