I just had mine on the 15th. Where did you have your surgery.

[Twink224 0]

Dr Foreman. In huntsville

[cantweight14 3]

Me too. When?

[dohickey01 8]

Is the process long? I go to see Dr. Foreman, speak with the nutritionist and and the insurance coordinator next month. My insurance pays for the procedure so that's not an issue.

[cantweight14 3]

My ins paid but it still took about 4 months. I had to see the nut. And my pcp for 3 months. Also had to have other tests before i got my approval from the ins.

I hope the psych visit is not mandatory. I'm not interested in sitting on a couch talking to a stranger.

[dohickey01 8]

The psych visit went great! My paperwork was submitted 2/20. Praying for an acceptance letter and a surgery date by 3/15.

Good luck to you! Dr. Foreman did my surgery Jan 28th.

[dohickey01 8]

Thank you! How much have you lost so far?

[dohickey01 8]

Oh - got a verbal approval last Thursday - now waiting on he next steps. This stupid snow is slowing everything down.

[Sleeveme15 6]

I'm down 30 lbs. since surgery. I never had to go on a preop diet, so all of my weight loss has been post op.

Yes, the snow has been a serious pain! Glad it's finally getting to be Spring now. Hopefully your process will go much faster than mine.

30 pounds? That's great!! Do you feel better?

[Sleeveme15 6]

I feel SO MUCH better! I think it's been so long since I have lost weight that I had forgotten how good it feels to be a smaller size. How is it going on all of your approvals?

[dohickey01 8]

I am on my way to pre-op as I type! Surgery is next week!!
