Jennifer03 4 Posted June 10, 2015 Hi there all! I am approved by BCBS as of yesterday 6-9-2015. I went to my Doctor today and we scheduled surgery for 7-7-2015. I am so excited to be taking this journey. Hope and success to each of you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checkmeowt 27 Posted June 10, 2015 July 15th. Already approved by insurance - I'm surprised so many get scheduled for surgery without being approved by insurance yet! I just made all the rest of my needed appointments today - EKG, chest x-ray, labs, and pre-op physical. 3 weeks prior to surgery I have a pre-op class with a group of people going around the same time as me.

ohjul 51 Posted June 15, 2015 @@ohjul, I'm July 13th also! Days are going quick! But I have found myself falling back into bad eating habits- saying to myself-"sure I can have a cup of gaucomole and chips- pretty soon I can't." Driving myself nuts! Anyone else?

Heatherrc1 37 Posted June 15, 2015 July 10th! It is quickly approaching! I agree with slipping into bad habits by allowing myself to eat "just one more time" times. That mindset has to change for me! Good luck everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stylewiz35 7 Posted June 15, 2015 3 week liquid? Wow, I start my liver shrink meals next week and all liquids the following week. Im gonna try to stay away from friends until surgery day so that i won't be tempted to have what they're having. This week will be the hardest because I will definitely want to get my "last" this or that. Good luck everyone! It will be so worth it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
