I'm hoping to hear back from my ins. & get this scheduled before the end of November. Do you have to do two week of Clear Liquids before surgery?

Depends on your dr and your bmi. I only have to do 1 week. I am self pay too. Not sure if that matters though.

Hi all,

I'm from Texas and am waiting for an answer from my insurance for the pre-approval which was sent by my doctor's office yesterday for the Gastric Sleeve. I'm excited but SO nervous! I have 100 pounds to lose so I'm feeling overwhelmed. Looking forward to getting to know all of you and going through this journey with all of you!

Update! My doctor submitted the preapproval paperwork on october 5, UHC approved October 7. Surgery scheduled for Nov 9! I found out by calling my insurance directly.

My fingers are crossed for November 20th! That's if my ins comes back with an A OK approval. If not it will be dec 4th either way i'm so excited! I'm ready for this journey.

I have my last dietician appt. tomorrow! Hoping I receive my surgery date soon. REALLY hope it's in November. Does anyone have any insight how I can ensure I get a November surgery date?

Call your Ins. if you are waiting on approval and make sure it is in rout. If they have already sent back the approval , call your Dr office and see what the hold up is and inquire on Nov. dates.
