krissj 39 Posted February 6, 2013 Hi Everybody, You have no idea how glad I am to have found this site. I am pre-op scheduled to be sleeved on April 16th or earlier. I am almost done with all the stuff needed to submit to insurance and if all goes well, I may be sleeved in March, but at the latest April 16th. I am so excited and nervous at the same time. This will be something great for me. I have been overweight for over 20 years. It's horrifying to me and I need this to eliminate a lot of problems in my life. It is so great to read these posts about like people and if I could I would put a great big hug around everyone here. I will be posting as things are prepping and also my successes after the sleeve. I have questions I will probably be posting too. So glad I am here, Kriss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krissj 39 Posted February 17, 2013 I'M APPROVED! I'M APPROVED!!! Got the call last Thursday. I have been rescheduled to March 7th. Only two weeks and four days. I start the liquid diet on the 21st FOUR DAYS!! I am beside myself. I seriously did not think insurance would approve it. I am not a very optimistic person sometimes. Something always happens to burst my bubble. But not this time. I have been gathering what I will need for the liquid diet. I am going to rock this thing. Can't wait for Thursday. I know that sounds crazy, but anything to prep me for the surgery I will do in spades. Look out world, I'm comin' tra la tra la Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
