@@rebelchelz I'm sooooo excited! And nervous! My friend who I'm doing this with is still waiting to hear from her insurance company. I sure hope she gets approved so we can still have surgery the same day. Fingers crossed. Good luck with your appeal!

May 2nd is soooo close! Just had my pre admission testing done. Now just counting down the days. Clear liquids day before. Treating myself to a pedicure and getting my nails done French (I have acrylic nails need to be clear color) maybe even get a facial! How's everyone doing? Anyone else having surgery on the 2nd? Am I the first loser of the May group?

@@CariC I found my medical policy on their website. It gives you all the requirements. But for me it was bmi 35-39 proof of medically supervised diets and nutritionist and psychological appointments. My surgical team had them on staff which made it easier. Oh and surgeon has to be part of a center of excellence
