jersey_girl_86 61 Posted January 16, 2015 My doctor told me it's looking like April. I finish all my requirements March 18th so it just depends on how long the insurance takes to approve it GOD WILLING Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrsmith901 18 Posted January 16, 2015 I just got my insurance approval today so now I am just waiting on the surgeon's office to get the approval and schedule the labs to get a date. They said they could have me in for labs within a week of getting the approval so hopefully I will be sleeved early February! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wannaBthinsoon 1,634 Posted January 16, 2015 Had my phone apt with UHC nurse Rebekah from Minnesota. Very nice lady. She said I met all criteria. Only thing left for me was to meet with the Dr, do a psych eval, and any labs the KC Bariatrics center required. She anticipated I would be sleeved in 2 months or less. YAY ME!!

NaomiAus 104 Posted January 18, 2015 Not until late October or early November for me, I need to wait for my 12 month waiting period with my insurance to be up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrispina 18 Posted January 18, 2015 My pre-op visit is Feb 2 and I have a weekend getaway planned for Valentine's Day, so I am hoping for the beginning of March. That should give me enough time for the pre-op diet and I will hopefully be recovered and feeling good by the time the kids go on spring break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
