goaldigger33 39 Posted November 22, 2016 Today I received the amazing news that I've been approved for the sleeve! Wahoooooo I'm so excited right now I'm also kinda freaking out because it's happening so quickly. I started seriously looking into this back in June/July. Of course I've been contemplating it for years but I'm still nervous. I know this will be the best decision I make but I also know that it won't be a walk in the park. Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Siyaa Ela 59 Posted November 22, 2016 What did you do to get the approval? Sent from my SM-G928F using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livvsmum 2,369 Posted November 22, 2016 Very exciting! I would say just read up as much as you can so you are as prepared as possible. I really like Geneen Roth's books on emotional eating. I wish I had discovered them before surgery so I was more prepared for that part of it. There's also lots of good blogs and video blogs from "vets" you could check out for "what to expect" kind of info. My blog is linked in my signature. It goes back 4 years to my first pre-op appt through now. Good luck to you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goaldigger33 39 Posted November 23, 2016 What did you do to get the approval? Sent from my SM-G928F using the BariatricPal App My insurance approved me for surgery and I really didn't have that many requirements. They were BMI over 40 and a psych eval. I also had an endoscopy per my surgeon. Insurance approved so I'll be getting my surgery date soon! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App What did you do to get the approval?
