lynn2win 142 Posted August 22, 2012 I had to my doctor and like I said we talked about my weight and things I was doing to help lose weight but she said I am best going to Dr for surgery and follow their program I could scream because I think I would get approved at least a month earlier but oh well. 1 zebrasprinkles reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zebrasprinkles 31 Posted August 23, 2012 ZebraSprinkles, Congrats on getting your date! After I get my insurance approval, I won't get to see the surgeon for maybe a month and then the date will be about another month!!! For me it's all too slow! September 10 is just around the corner! Going to the losers bench. YAY!! Yay funsize! You'll be joining me soon! If I can make it.. lol damn anxiety! 1 finallythin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fun size 62 Posted August 27, 2012 I am only about an hour from Toledo in nw Ohio. My mom and brother live in Toledo! Well I'm in the beginning stages, but pretty excited that I got my pcps approval today! One more thing checked off the list, now onto the psych eval! Once that is done how much longer should it take to start classes? Jessielynn, I think easch insurance is different. I had to do 6 months of nutricional counseling. They count your first visit as one month (go figure) so it's really only 5 months. My last class is 9/17. Then they will submit it to insurance. That should take two weeks. I'm getting excited. Where are you? Where will you have your sleeve done? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OH MY GOSH I'm not doing to hot on the pre-op diet.. lol ( but it really could be because I'm type 2 and not used to such a drastic change in diet) But I'm nauseous all the time and tired. lol I'm only on day 3 though so I'm sure I'm just adjusting to the food! but I'm staying positive and hanging in there! awww one year old twins!! ( I'm jelly! lol another reason I want surgery to be able to have kids! ) But once you get to the pre op diet... some of that food is soooo nasty! but they are super nice and let you trade food back in.. I just got a lot of the drinks.. but keep me updated chica! Rachel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
