Hi everyone! I'm just so excited I have to share this with y'all. I got my surgery date this morning, I will be getting sleeved on April 10th!!

Anyone out there getting sleeved close to that date? I would love to have some surgery buddies.

Congrats!!! I hope I will be also. My paperwork was submitted to insurance today. They said it should be about 2 weeks. Surgeon said he would be able to fit me in at the end of the month if we get it back soon, if not the beginning of April it will be for me also.

How excited are you? Im so excited and anxious waiting on ins. approval. How long did your insurance take to send back the approval?

@SuaniyaI'm really excited now but I'm sure I will get nervous as the date approaches. I feel so relieved to finally have a date like it's all really happening now.

I have Kaiser and they do things a little different. They don't have to send for approval. If I qualify with my BMI and make it into the program and then finish the program, I get the surgery. I feel bad that a lot of people go through the whole process and could possibly get denied by insurance. I can only imagine how frustrating that is.

I'm thinking good thoughts for you and sending positive vibes your way that your insurance approves the surgery :)

Oh I like that so much better. Im super worried because my bmi was 39, but i do habe hpb, and my ins. only requires 1 comorbity with 35 to 40 bmi, so i should be fine, but it is a little nerve-wracking waiting. Its been 6 long months and now ready to be sleeved, like tomorrow, lol :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
