SCJCJ 4 Posted March 1, 2014 I can't believe that by next week I should have an answer from the insurance. It's crazy to think that if I'm approved I'll be sleeved in the next few weeks. The dr has agreed to help me get surgery before March 31st because on April 1 my insurance changes. Please send good vibes my way. I really don't want to go through this process with another insurance company if I'm denied. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moonshun 7 Posted March 5, 2014 I am going through this exact same thing. I am currently scheduled for March 20th pending insurance approval. My paperwork was supposed to be submitted yesterday… so I wait. My insurance changes on April 1st so I am trying desperately to be done by then. Good luck to you!

SCJCJ 4 Posted March 8, 2014 Thank you. We don't have to do the liquid diet pre-op just the day before. Then there's a drink we take that cleans you out. May be what they use for colonoscopy but not sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clinton6 16 Posted March 8, 2014 Ok, that's kinda nice you don't have a pre-op diet. Are you planning any food funerals? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
