Just Got Approved! Any June Sleevers?

[littlebits 154]

June 14. Really anxious' date=' having trouble sleeping. Just still in the dark about a lot. No mention of a pre-op diet. Im doing self-pay since my insurance doesn't cover it, but now I'm wondering if I should ask my doctor to talk to them. Wondering if this will actually work or if I'm putting myself into debt for no reason. Ugghhhh! Trying to stay confident about my decision, but I'm worried about everything right now![/quote']

I agree with Chichi. This process can be quite overwhelming, so I would put in a call to the surgeon asap! Although I am still pre-op, I sincerely think that this tool can work for us. We just have to be diligent about "making a lifestyle change".

On another note, you should ask your pcp to write a letter to your insurance company. The worst thing that they can say is no. However, if they say yes, you can use that money for something else...just a thought! Good luck!

Thanks, ladies! I appreciate the support and advice. Will definitely talk to my doctor on Monday. I try to be patient and let them get in touch with me, but I need answers...June 24 is just one itty bitty month away!

Would like to share my journey with others, to keep motivated and accountable...will also be doing YouTube vlogs to have a visual tracking....so are their any June sleevers out there?

Congrats on your approval date!!! I'm June 4th here Houston TX

June 4th seems so soon! They told me to expect a mid June early July date but insurance came back with an approval in 3 days instead of weeks like we anticipated! I feel like everything has just fallen into place so it must be meant to be but I'm still nervous as all get out! I wish you all the best of luck! Let's keep each other updated on our progress! I have friends that support me but none are overweight so they really don't fully understand. I love this forum!!

I'm praying for a June date. Currently I'm waiting on a response from the insurance company.
