Looking for April 2016 sleevers?

Hi,

I have started the pre-op journey and am hoping for a surgery date sometime in April. I would love to buddy up with someone having surgery around the same time?

Hi. My name is Deborah Myers. My surgery is April 18. Next week i get to learn how to do some of the food. I have to see the dietician for six weeks due to insurance. Insurance will either decide to support or not support two weeks prior...

My surgery date is April 1, 2016! I am so excited it is really all that I can think about. I would love to meet more people with an April date so that we can support one another.

Yay! April sleevers. I won't be able to get a date until after my third MWM class which is in the middle of march. I would love for my date to be April 1st!! I am going to find out if that's possible at my next appointment. I'm so excited and so scared at the same time. Where are you ladies from? I'm from Philadelphia.

My final appointment with my surgeon for my insurance mandated 6 month pre-surg program will be March 17. Presumably I'll be scheduled for sometime in April once I get final approval from the insurance. My name's Courtney, and I'm in Texas. . Glad to see so many people about to go through the same thing at the same time!

If I understand the procedure with my insurance, I have to have 6 visits with a nutrition counselor for 6 months. I must lose and keep off at least 15lbs of which I am down 25lbs. Plus, bmi needs to be a certain measurement which I had a bmi of 59 when I started.

Now I have to wait for a meeting with the surgeon 2 weeks prior to the surgery date. As I understand, insurance approval will occur then.

I plan on calling insurance to see when approval will occur as this late date has me concerned.
