Almost done!

Today was my psych evaluation and I passed! I'm SO happy! Final insurance required weigh-in will be this Saturday, contacting my surgeon on Tuesday and making that appointment to see him one last time before they submit my case to my insurance company. I'm thinking 2-3 weeks from now my insurance wil be notified. I'm so excited and so nervous. I didn't think I would finally get this close!!!

I'm in a little in shock right now. Would it be silly to start prepping now? Or do people wait until things are submitted to their insurance company?

Thanks Russ, you too. How has it been going for you so far?

Good luck!! The wait to hear back from insurance is agonizing.

Valkyrea, I finished my six month diet on August 5, the next week paperwork was submitted to insurance company and I heard back by Friday of the same week that I was approved. I scheduled for Oct because of my job, then rescheduled for Sept 24. I am so excited. Good luck to you.

Congratulation to both of you, I wish you both a speedy recovery.

We are in the same boat! Did my psych eval Monday. Do my final weigh-in on Tuesday. I will have met all my surgical requirements. I am also starting my two week pre-op diet on the 3rd so I can have surgery as soon as everything is approved.

That's great!!! Congratulations! This month will fly by for you. Have you started to prep for surgery and the pot-op diet yet?

I'm hoping I can get the surgery mid-end of September, I'll be off for a few days from work and it would be the BEST time to take off.

Awesome! Did your doctor suggest you start your pre-op diet on the 3rd? How long as you supposed to be on it?

They did suggest I start it after my final appointment only because I am on a time crunch to get it done. Most of the time they don't recommend starting it until you have been approved for surgery and they set your surgical date around that.
