Good luck!! It will be here so fast!!!

My mom is 65 and just got approved for RNY.

Had my last appt on 4/5/13. I thought i should have heard by now! So I Called the insurance company today and they said they had no request! Huh? So I called the dr office and they said they were working on it and would have an answer tomorrow. But at 3:30 (90 min later) I got a call back and they said they pushed it through and I am approved!! I have to call tomorrow and get scheduled for a preop appointment and surgery day!! I have been working on this since October 2012 and have lost 30 lbs so far. I am so excited to be moving ahead on a healthier journey!!

Thanks everyone. Looks like I will have surgery in July.

Sorry but "Lane Giant" cracked me up so bad. I seriously never heard that before and I can't stop giggling.

Sounds silly right? Am I going to have trouble getting approved now if my A1C is back in normal range after losing 30 lbs before surgery? I never know what these insurance companies look for. Maybe it's a sign to them that the surgery will make that more likely to stick? I thrilled with the 30 lbs and I still have at least 2 mths til surgery.

My hubby had RNY 7 yrs ago. He has gained quite a bit of weight back. Mostly due to stretching his pouch. Can the pouch be made smaller after the first surgery? I am also wondering if insurance would ever cover it. He seems more ready now to continue his lifestyle changes. Mostly because his dr has talked to him about diabetes.

I had a hernia following pregnancy and it was an aching pain above my belly button. My stomach also protruded there. When I would push on it I could feel something move when I could find the right spot. Kind of like I could pop it back in.

I want to kick myself in the butt. I was down to 223 lbs from 249 lbs 10 data ago. How in the hell did I gain 9 lbs since then? I have been doing some extra snacking and find myself at long John silvers yesterday with eaters regret after I downed a meal there. Someone please yell at me and tell me to get back on track. My next weigh in pre op is march 4th so I gotta hop to it! What is wrong with me?????? Starting wt 11/16/12 249 lbs. bmi 44. update 1/13/12 wt 232 lbs Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I just got off the treadmill. Which even with all the waiting I have been doing , I have actually been doing religiously. Feeling more in control today. One if you said stress at work was a trigger for you. Well I think that has been mine the past couple weeks. I snack to deal with and avoid work. I gotta find a replacement for the eating. Maybe walk around where I work instead of walking to the cafeteria? I think that's a start. Starting wt 11/16/12 249 lbs. bmi 44. update 1/13/12 wt 232 lbs Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Thanks everyone. I am feeling better and am back at it. I am hoping that my surgery date will be April 2013. Thanks for the encouragement! Starting wt 11/16/12 249 lbs. bmi 44. update 1/13/12 wt 232 lbs Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
