Got my date

 SO relieved to get my date - April 12th! Apparently the same day as my surgeon's daughter's birthday so happy birthday to her and happy "new body birthday" to me!! Keeping fingers crossed that BCBS doesn't pull any BS and deny me for any reason. After all, couldn't get the sleeve because of their arbitrary policies. (IMO a surgery that's been around for several years shouldn't be considered "experimental")
BUT very happy to be RNY bypass and TOTALLY motivated to get this first step over & on to the next step of reclaiming my body!

Con grads are your date.  It will be before you knoait.

Yay!!  Congratulations!!  I go on 4/5 so we're just a week apart! 

 Grats!  Time to start taste-testing those protein drinks & supplements  

Congratulations!!!

good luck! sorry to hear about not being approved for vsg. i think that is wrong. people should have a choice which surgery they choose. i might have gone that route if i knew anything about it but that was three years ago. i love my rny but i do get hypoglycemia when i am not eating right.

good luck, it is going to be an amazing ride!

I am so happy for you and understand the feeling of getting the date.  I go on 4/5/11 and I too am waiting for BCBS to approve me.  My husband was approved in just one week.  The hospital called me last night ot verify all my insurance info and I believe they are submitting it today.  She told me I should hear back from them with in 2-4 business days.  Good luck and happy losing

 Thank you all for such great support!!

Congrats on getting your surgery date!! It's such a great feeling! Good Luck to you!

 nfarris, Congrats!!! 

We have the same surgeon, Dr. Long 
I got my date for surgery as well, it is April 26th. I'm not ecstatic just yet because I still need to be approved by surgery but I'm sure all will go well.

I start my liquid diet on your surgery date!!! lol

yay for you!
