Omg...

I just spoke with my surgeon coordinator and I was approved! My date is December 20th. That's not even the best part.... I only have to do a ONE DAY liquid diet. YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY|!

In all seriousness, this has been so long and so fast at the same time. I started back in 2011 with employer insurance that I had at that time and ended up leaving that job. Started over with the job I have now doing the same hoops that BCBS has you jump through:

6 month supervised diet

2 year history of obesity

Nutrition consult

Psych evaluation

Waiting patiently or not so patiently in my case (I called BCBS everyday, It only took a week mind you)

And now.... I will be sleeved on DECEMBER 20th!

Thank you to all of you who have shared. And to those of you just beginning, hang in there... it only gets better!

Good luck,

your hoops are very similar to what I had to go through as well. Also no liquid diet except the day before surgery. My Dr. said it would just "piss me off" any way (his words).

That's great and after all that, the best part is only one day of liquid diet preop. We should all be so lucky!
