mykdzmom 387 Posted April 13, 2015 Hello there again, sounds like everyone is moving along, good luck to you all. I spoke to my Doctors office today and they sent everything over to my insurance company, so now we are just waiting for the approval and my actual surgery date. I got butterflies today How exciting! Keep us posted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Engteacher 158 Posted April 13, 2015 I just looked at my on-line medical chart and was surprised to see that my insurance company has already approved my sleeve. Yup. At 10:35 am today there was a phone call with my insurance company, and it says that "Patty" has approved my sleeve. I keep logging in and looking at it just to be sure it says what I think it says. I had no idea that the paperwork had been filed already, but then again, I've heard that my insurance company is very easy to work with. Clearly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DisneyDreaming 42 Posted April 14, 2015 Hi Everyone, I am Dawn (aka DisneyDreaming) and I am scheduled for my sleeve on June 24th. This is assuming that my sleep apnea doctor gets everything done one time. I am also a self pay so it has gone pretty quick, once I pulled the trigger and picked where I wanted to have surgery. There are two in my area and I have been researching for 2 years to make sure this is what I wanted to do. I have meet with my surgeon and had my EKG. I have my psych visit on the 22nd. The NUT and fitness eval will be on the 4th of May. A bit about myself..I have been married 23 almost 24 years and have 3 teenagers at home. I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest Washington.

Texasgurl 8 Posted April 14, 2015 Finished the 6 months in December. I am a teacher and can't have my surgery until the summer. Yes, the waiting has been awful! Can't wait, but still kind of scared of the unknown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't wait, but still kind of scared of the unknown. Sounds rough, but then you will have a whole summer to work on YOU and your recovery so that's probably the best way it could have worked out Good luck! I started my journey in November 2013 but then my father passed and then my health went down im finally finished with EVERYTHING and I can't wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mykdzmom 387 Posted April 15, 2015 Get out! Happy Dance for sure So will you still wait until school is out in June or schedule earlier?

mykdzmom 387 Posted April 15, 2015 Do you guys use the phone app or use the full computer version? I ask because when I am on my phone (Samsung Galaxy), I can't see when there have been replies to topics as easily as when I am on my computer. The features like using the @ to mention in a comment doesn't work on my phone and I can only view a members gallery photos and details when on my computer but not on my phone. Perhaps it is user error? Or, do you have to join VIP to get those features on your phone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smiranda 55 Posted April 15, 2015 I use the app on my iPhone but yesterday I used my laptop. Where would I fund the insurance approval? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
