Mrs. Reid 392 Posted October 4, 2014 I'm hoping to get sleeved in December! Still jumping through hoops and working for insurance approval! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shellyd88 463 Posted October 4, 2014 Well that's a familiar story jumping thru hoops me too! All I've done is get medical records go to dr appts or schedule endless test while being told not to eat any carbs or sugar fun! Not anyway I'm hoping for dec had hoped for before dec 1 due to my plan year starts over on that date and I will have to pay out several thousand dollars if it's after that but everything goes so incredibly slow and they space your tests and appts so far apart I don't have much hope it will happen before jan I've had to hound every dr and hospital records office for records it's been unbelievable hope everyone else is having a better experience Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
healthygurl 17 Posted October 4, 2014 I don't have my official surgery date yet but I've been told that it should be in the first part of December. I'm in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ky89 86 Posted October 4, 2014 I'm getting my sleeve on December 17th in Tijuana. I'm seriously counting down the days. I just want to have this finished so I can have a happy life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ldg 17 Posted October 4, 2014 I am also hoping for a Dec surgery date. I meet with my surgeon on Thursday and hopefully will get a date then. Still have to get insurance approval. Anyone else have people think you're crazy for doing this over the holidays? I think it will be the best Christmas (and birthday - my birthday is Dec. 13) present ever!

ldg 17 Posted October 7, 2014 @@kymmiej11 Dec 30 sounds like a great time to have the surgery to me! you'll start the new year off as a new person! As to having to do the whole preop/postop diet over the holidays, I have been on diets before through the holidays and it didn't kill me, so i know i can do it again. Best of luck to you!
