November buddies where are you?

[IdahoGirl32 89]

We're sleeve buddies! I am 31 (32 by day of surgery). I'm 5'2, 260lbs , my dream weight is 130, but we'll see. I don't have to do a liquid diet for 2 weeks. I start a 1200 cal diet on 11/11 and then do liquid on the 23rd and 24th.

Awesome! We should stay in touch! It'll be good to have someone to compare notes with!

Had my pre-op yesterday and paperwork is submitted to insurance company !!! Now the waiting game begins....so anxious ! I start liquid diet on Monday but am trying a few shakes etc now to see how it will go. My BMI was 35.6 when I started this process and my insurance needs 2 co-morbids to qualify. My surgeon seems to think it should be ok and the insurance will accept my high cholesterol and mild sleep apnea as qualifiers but I am still anxious. Anyone else have BLUECROSS/BLUESHIELD ILL ? and experience the same ? and what is turnaround time on approval??

I have BCBS of IL

It took less than one day to get approval!
