I would like to schedule my surgery for the first full week in March once my insurance is approved, any other March Sleevers in the building?

I'm in the same boat exactly. I'd actually like to have it last week of Feb if I get an approval ASAP, but that's kind of pushing it.

[day after you]

I have been waiting sooooo long to post to a thread like this. I have my date!!!!!!!

March 14th!!!! I have a 5 day liquid diet prior, so March 9. Cool thing about he timin of it is that I get to have my food funeral at Disney World, lol. I'll be there for a week end of feb. MARCH 14th!!!!!!

I am 5'9" and weigh in at a whopping 290. I don't know what my goal is. Ultimately 150, but I hope to be down 100 pounds in a year. Hell, anything in onederland sounds good right now.

YAY!!!!!!!

I am now in the waiting game as many of you are...I have completed the 6 month required supervised diet and have all testing done other than an ekg and chest xray. Everything is being submitted to Insurance for approval. Have no idea how long that can take. I had lapband in 2008 and have not been real successful in losing the amount of weight I had hoped too. Due to some knee, feet problems I was not able to do much of the exercising that I believe would have helped me be more sucessful. I am hopeful that the sleeve will allow me to lose more weight and then possibly be able to do more stuff ( exercise wise) taking some more strain off of the knees and feet. Have already had one knee replaced hoping to avoid getting the other one done. Getting sort of down on myself wondering I will fail at this attempt as well?

[futuresleever 44]

You won't fail. You will be successful. Speak those words over yourself. my insurance said it can take up to 15 business days to approve.

[adoptmom2_3 11]

Well, that was a quick approval. Surgery Date of March 13th in Erie, Pa. Will have to do 6 day pre-op liquid diet.< /p>

Is anyone else counting the days?

[lifesaveremt (RIP) 38]

Hi everyone! I just got my approval after my 6 months waiting and nutritional visits that my insurance company required. I now have a surgical date of February 27th. I have my pre op physical Thursday, with EKG, and endoscopy on Friday. I then have my last surgical consult on the 18th. I'm so excited to start the journey, and looking forward to my new life of being healthier and exercising!

[DrmBig4Evr 152]

I have my pre op appt next week and will most likely have a March date! So hello March sleevers!

[PressOnward 22]

Yes!! March 13th so happy!!

March 7th for me. I'm 5'10" ~360lbs. I'm actually posting this from the room where I'm doing the required sleep study. My EGD is scheduled for this Thursday and psych eval on Friday. Busy week! But I feel like each test I knock out, the closed I am to a healthier self.
