Wmmarie 31 Posted August 12, 2016 Wmmarie I'm waiting on Aetna to above me. My dr says Aetna and Cigna are the hardest to get approved. I'm hopeful I have a tentative date for October 21. I suffer the similar health issues. I should get approved. Much luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I was finally approved last week after my surgeon had a peer to peer with the insurance co. I am a go for 9/19. My husbands good for 11/8. Much luck to u too. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leebick 448 Posted August 13, 2016 I've been postponed twice, my "new" date is 9/19. I'm probably the only freak on the planet super excited about starting the liquid diet since I've had my hopes dashed and had to rework my life around the changing dates. Bring on 9/19 and a new way of life! I've postponed my surgery twice, too; I thought I was the only one!! My date is 9/15, and I can't wait. The first time (May), I was on day 13 of the liquids-only pre-op diet and had a horrible chest cold. Anesthesia called for my pre-op consultation and said no way were they taking me to surgery the next day! Because of personal stuff and such, I rescheduled for July 21 only to have to cancel due to a family emergency; that time, I was only on day 6 of the pre-op diet, LOL! I am psyched to get started, and have no qualms at ALL about that pre-op diet- I've GOT THAT!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gemigirl 134 Posted August 16, 2016 @@Wmmarie we are sleeve sisters - I'm scheduled for the 19th as well! Now I just need to get through a few more hoops: EKG, pre-op exam and the dreaded pre-op liquid diet. Right now I'm trying to knock off the 2 lbs I gained after my qualifying appointment - sigh. I cannot wait for the 19th though, so ready for this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jen-2+1 131 Posted August 17, 2016 I have an appointment Tuesday for my surgical clearance from my primary, then I can get my date scheduled. They said sometimes you get a date less than two weeks away. I need to be healed enough to spend a day at a wedding on the tenth or schedule after the twelfth. I can't wait til I just find out my date so I can make plans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gemigirl 134 Posted August 18, 2016 I'm struggling today - ate like I haven't eaten in weeks. Going to have a couple of days of shakes to get myself back on track. Happily I have realized that I never want to feel this full and gross from food again and that I much prefer the way of eating that I've developed during the leadup to surgery.

Wchild22 34 Posted August 18, 2016 I'm suppose to have a date for September but the lady that handles the insurance part just has my file sitting on her desk while she takes a vacation! Why couldn't she do it before hand it wasn't like she didn't have it for two weeks already! I want to cry, I know impatient but the suspense is killing me.
