Kami 9 Posted July 20, 2011 I just got the call from the surgeon's scheduler and I'm going to be sleeved on August 24! The funny thing is, its my 1/2 birthday, so my 6 month surger-versary will fall exactly on my 35th birthday! I don't know why, but this amuses me I finished my 3 month Sup. weight loss on May 24, got my approval on June 23 (Aetna only took 2 days, the rest of the delay was my screwed up surgeon's office), got scheduled for surgery July 20 (yep, another major delay by my screwed up surgeon's office - who has to wait a month to even get a freaking date!?!) and then surgery a month later, on August 24. I can't wait!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heather~ Sweetdreams 10 Posted July 23, 2011 Congratulations! I remember how excited I was to get my date, and the nerves that built up all the way until surgery day! I just had mine last Thursday, and am still excited! Now, it's to see the results that are to come! Good luck!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azsenior 12 Posted July 26, 2011 Congratulations, GF! Looks like things are getting done in the BG offices! I have heard from Cara a couple of times by phone and email. Medicare, as expected, declined the VSG. She has now submitted it to my secondary insurance, Aetna. I do not expect a positive response so I will probably be faced with taking the band or waiting until Medicare approves the sleeve. I can't wait to hear everything about your journey!
