Did you have any co morbities? I'm still pending insurance approval and I have none right now except hypertension. nervous about getting denied :/

I have No comorbidities. My approval was 1 week. How long have you been waiting so far? I think there will be no problem with you being approved.

I have aetna, they requested the sleep study and I passed so I don't know if we re-submitted today Or if they just need the results. My surgeons office is really great about just taking care of stuff so I amputting faith in them. I have been working on everything since June.

I'm November 21 in So Cal...a week before Thanksgiving and 2 weeks before my birthday! But have only been at my "new" job for 4 months so I had to schedule it near holiday since I don't have much accrued vacation time.

Welcome !! do you have your date yet?? All kinds of support here ! Love Hawaii :wub:

My date is actually the 5th! I met with the good doctor today and signed all the paperwork! I'm finally starting to feel kinda excited....

I'm glad to have the support from this group. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

Glad you like my home state! Sending you a great big ALOHA!

Ha! ME ME ME! I have been on these forums for months watching folks ask for june sleevers, then july, august, etc. i kept thinking to myself that one of these days i will get to jump in and say ME. So, today is that day. Being sleeved November 5th!!!

Getting sleeved in Warrensburg, Missouri.

It took about one month from when my file was sent to insurance to approval. I started this whole process on may of 2013 this year

Congrats! Yay YOU!

My first name is Tianna, I am from Northern Alberta Canada. My surgery is on Nov 25, at OCC Tijuana. I am 5' 10.5", weight 307ish ( depending in who's scale) I don't have a end goal weight in mind. Honestly, the thought of being under 200 seems impossible. I am very active and play Roller Derby. Myself and 2 other teammates are going together for the sleeve. 1 is actually getting a lap band removal and then either the plication or the sleeve. We scheduled it around our 2 month Christmas break, but I wish I would of done it right after our season was over. I could be down so much by now. Getting my mind, house and family ready for the pre op Protein Shake and green veggies diet, and am terrified of it, lol. But can not wait to start my new life! Yayy November
