magee2318 6 Posted August 16, 2012 Congrats! Mine went fast too....had my first consult June 25 and getting sleeved tomorrow! I am glad I did research before the process because it probably would have been way too fast and overwhelming to cram it all in a month and a half! Good luck with everything! 1 zebrasprinkles reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joisey01 87 Posted August 16, 2012 Congratulations! My first consult was at the end of May. At first, my insurance required that we do the 6 months of nutrition classes. Then after a month, I was notified that they reduced it to 3 months. I'm going September 20. It's all downhill now. My pre-op is the 7th, EGD on the 14th and surgery on the 20th. It's going so fast.

zebrasprinkles 31 Posted August 16, 2012 That's awesome!! congratulations! and that is great that they reduced the diet for you! under my insurance I didn't have to do the pre diet, I just had to have a 5 year history of obesity, ( um I've been fat my whole life easy peasy lol) be over the age of 21 ( I'm 24) and have a bmi of 40 or 35 with an ailment ( I have both lol ) and ( I'm on my dads insurance ) and they cover obesity. so I'm assuming that is why everything went so smoothly. But we're only getting sleeved 10 days apart! go us! lol Keep me updated for sure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zebrasprinkles 31 Posted August 16, 2012 I know right?! I'm kinda in shock as of right now. because in a week and a couple days I'll be starting pre-op diet ( yay.. sarcasm) and then boom! On the tenth we're getting sleeved! It really is surreal. I'm happy and anxious all at the same time, how you feeling Mufasasmom? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
