Ok, so my paperwork just got submitted today...Hopefully, I will get my approval some time next week!

That gives me hope insurance if they received my authorization yesterday so just waiting to hear back so anxious!!

Doesn't help they told me can take 5 days and they're closed Thursday and Friday

I called my insurance at 12:30 to ask if they had received the packet and they said they did have it, and at 1:30 my surgical coordinator emailed me to say that my surgery was approved. I'm guessing that once they had to look at it because I called they just went ahead and approved it. Doesn't hurt to call them and give a little shove!

Fort Worth Texas!

Neat! I use to live in Plano. I miss the area. I have to be at the hospital at 6am surgery scheduled for 10am. The agony of waiting. Let's stay in touch even though we are miles apart.

Just got my surgery date today!! January 20th it is!!!!! I am so happy and excited.

I am set for 12.8! I was lucky and was not required to have a supervised diet, but I also haven't lost anything, so am disappointed in myself. It's ok thought - the date is set, and I'm excited to get back to the life I enjoy. It's so hard to imagine that 100 pounds can sneak up on a person, but that's exactly what has happened to me, like so many others.

How exciting! I'm a 12/08/2015 also. It's getting close. Such a great gift for the holidays

Hi All The latest update on my testing. I had the breathing test yesterday. The one giving me the test kept making me do it over and over again. She also gave me 2 shots of an inhaler and some oxygen. She kept telling me to blow out faster than I was. I thought something was wrong. When I finally saw the Pulmonary Dr he said I passed and he gave me the clearance. Now I need to wait until Dec 2nd and 3rd for my 2 day stress test, then I will get the PCP Dr to give me my medical clearance and medically necessary form. It seem to have been a long time but since June I have lost 35 pounds. Come Jan I hope to have my surgery. Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hello,

I am having revision to sleeve 28 December. I am ready because my lapband slipped last year and stopped working. Also the closer it gets, I am eating more even though I run and cycle. My current weight is 210, I have the working out part down, just need and want to lose weight so I can feel better about myself and be lighter on feet and on bike. Want to look better for a 51 year man. I want to run the New York Marathon next year. Good luck to everybody.

My last "supervised diet" educational class is tomorrow... Woo hoo for these 7 months flying by. On my way home from work my Doctors office called. They had some cancelations and want to see me right after my class tomorrow. So it looks like I could have my surgery in December after all.. A little scared/nervous because my mind was set on January. Oh my!

I was approved today initially they submitted for 12/9 so will be calling me with a surgery date tomorrow. I'm assuming 12/16 due to the to two-week pre op diet. So excited and my nerves are high at the same time
