Total Newbie- Looking for fellow newbies!
Angelkeeper4 replied to Jezika's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my initial surgeon appt this past Fri. I have Horizon NJHealth and was thrilled there was no six month diet requirement. Waiting to be contacted for my sleep study. I have my cardiology, gastroenterology and nutritionist apt scheduled mid August. My pcp already submitted my letter of medical necessity. Still have to schedule a psych evaluation and attend a preop class. Hoping for an October surgery. -
Anyone in the South Jersey area? I'll be having surgery at Kennedy by Dr Balsama

I'm not sure my insurance covers this. I have a few names from my surgeon. Let me know yours?

Can i ask who you all used for psych in south Jersey?

I was in a similar situation with 12 years of no insurance. I spoke with the Bariatric coordinator and luckily with my surgeon/ insurance it wasn't an issue. (Horizon NJHealth)

I went to my surgery consult today completely invested in bypass. Met with the surgeon and he was surprised. Then after discussing my role in my grandchildren's lives (Im raising them)he suggested I consider the sleeve because it's. Safer. I'm 5'3" 350 lbs and in his words startling good health considering my weight. In THE end he says the decision is mine. What do I do?

I don't want two surgeries...I want one. I will have to deal with surgery for my legs (Dr. Said so) in a year or so....I really feel I will be best with RNY however I will keep researching and talk to the nutritionist as he suggested...move along with my tests and make a decision. Hoping for Oct surgery.

Tomorrow is my surgeon consult appt. I'm writing up a list of questions. With all your vast experiences...anyone have any suggestions? Anything you wished you had asked? Forgot to ask?

Angelkeeper4 replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I started this journey fully invested that the sleeve was for me. But I have researched.....and read...and asked questions....and in the end I feel with confidence I'll be getting gastric bypass. My surgeon consult is Friday and I feel he will concur. We'll see. -
