God bless everyone having surgery today! The 19th will be here before I know it. Can't wait!

I can't wait! I got my band in 08 and I've wanted it out since 2011, but took me a while to work up the courage. I guess I'll try premier shake too. You're only 2 days away!! God bless you on your surgery. Keep us updated

I'll be having a revision from band to RNY on 11/19. Super excited/scared/happy/nervous... all at the Samar time lol! I'll do a 10 day pre op liquid diet and have bought unjury, which is delicious. Anyone else has a favorite protein drink they want to share? God bless all of us November RNYers

Hi, Don, I'll be having a revision to RNY with Dr. Kruger on the 19th. I'd love to participate in a private Facebook group. Is it ok if I add you too?

What should I expect in the process?
Rafa3 replied to ReaRaes's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I called the insurance company yesterday and they said my case is under physician review. I forgot to ask if that's protocol or not. Does anyone here know? I know they put my date down as the 30th but I'm freaking out because they've submitted my paperwork on the 9th and I still haven't gotten an answer. I can't even get myself to diet, I'm so anxious! -
Any October surgeries out there...

Hello, everyone, did any of you have BCBS of Ma? The paperwork was submitted to them last Friday and I was just wondering how long they might take. Doctors office said they can take up to 3 weeks. I hope it's a lot sooner

I went to a seminar, then 2 visits with nutritionist, 2 visits with the psychologist, 3 2hr workshops, pulmonologist clearance, blood work (12 tubes), chest X-ray, abdominal ultrasound, 3 visits with surgeon, a 2hr educational visit with nurse. Now just waiting for insurance approval and book surgery My unsurance company didn't require a 6 month supervised diet, thank God. I started the whole process in June. Hopefully will have surgery later this month -

My nut recommended Bariatric Fusion for all my vit and mineral needs. They haven't been around long but my doctor is a fan because there's a much higher compliance with these than when having 3 or 4 different types of pill to take. Plus, all his patients who are on it have perfect blood work even in the long run
