hadouni 301 Posted December 13, 2011 I just called my insurance and found out I'm approved for the sleeve! I had to call the surgeon's office and tell them and they scheduled me right away: JANUARY 9, 2012 is my day! Now I'm a little scared but excited too. I have pre-op on Jan 5 and they're mailing me all the info today. I can't wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jasleeve 440 Posted December 13, 2011 congrats!!! i was approved last wednesday & i became a little scared too but not too much. maybe like 2% of me is scared. i just want to lose weight & be happy! i have so much to look forward to! my surgery is scheduled for dec 20th at 8am. i have to be at the hospital by 615am. i went for my pre op appt today where they drew blood, took urine, had me sign a billion papers & gave me soap solution to wash my stomach with for the 3 days before surgery! this shall be very interesting! ill be keeping everyone posted on my journey via VST and youtube www.youtube.com/jasleeve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hadouni 301 Posted December 13, 2011 I can't wait to get the packet of info... should be huge! I ran a couple errands and bought the first surgery take-along: gas-x strips! I've seen a few people post that they're good to have. I actually got another gift- my insurance company finally caved and paid for my copay for the Dr. they sent me to and then said I couldn't use. It was only $28, but I took time off to go to another seminar and then first appointment only to find out I couldn't have surgery at that place! And my Christmas cards just came. I should buy a lottery ticket! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
