Yes! I am finished with all of my classes and stuff, just waiting on approval! They had to pick a date before they submit to insurance so June 9 is my tentative date! I'm very excited! It's been a long winding road to get here!

Omg, you got your date 1st? Hmm, is that how they usually do it or just with your insurance? We have UMR idk how they do it not alot on here with them I don't think.

I actually just got my date at my last appointment on Friday 4/1. I have Anthem BCBS, but I think it is specific to my group. Also, the nurse who gets approvals at my surgeon's office said the approval process for my insurance is just a phone call. I have seen some people on here that get their date very early in the process. Mondays and Fridays are clinic days, so she probably won't get around to calling until tomorrow or Wednesday. I'm so nervous something is going to be denied! We looked over my file on Friday and every single thing I needed to get approved is there.

My last dietician appt is June 7, I'm hoping that my insurance approval doesn't take too long, I'm really hoping to have surgery late June, early July.

Hello! I'm new here, but I'm due to have my surgery in June or July. They haven't given me a date yet. I was a social smoker, so I had to sign a 6 month Nicotine-free contract; everyone seems to be counting that 6 months differently though. I have monthly appointments with my physical therapist and my nutritionist. I had to take a couple of Nutrition classes, and will have one more the month before my surgery.

I enjoy reading everyone's comments, and it's nice to find a group that is having surgery at the same time!

[betterme38 275]

Yeah @@sweetlynn2001 your almost there! ???? @@Brynley I'm glad you found us and hopefully more will find us, alot have had there surgeries here not us though lol almost! I quit smoking almost 1yr ago but the surgeon said he will do a nicotine test I'm not worried though beings I quit and I'm so glad I did.

As far as the 6 months mine is 7 visits to include 6 with NUT and Pt person and so 1st was to actually meet the surgeon. I'm hoping to also have mine done soon ????

Hi Everyone,

I am scheduled for June 29 here in NJ with Dr. Sadek. I started with a seminar back in July then scheduled a visit with the surgeon for December. I always wanted June because I am able to take time off from work with no penalty. I have been to the nutritionist twice, gone to the pulmonalogist, cardiologist and gastro. I have been cleared by psych and have my cardiac tests this week and scheduled my endoscopy for May 3.

I cannot wait!

I have my last nut visit May 5. I have done everything else but the psych evaluation, an my insurance requires 10% weight loss prior to approval. I am 10 lbs away. I talked to my coordinator today, and she said I should be able to plan on surgery in late May to June!

I am so thankful to everyone on this site as I've been working to lose the first part of the weight law last month! can't wait!
